Advanced Engineering Acoustics

Description

An extension of ME513, this course covers one-dimensional wave propagation in ducts, including acoustic filters, mufflers, and transfer matrix methods. It also explores Acoustic Intensity methods, sound transmission through barrier systems, and higher-order wave propagation in ducts.

Learning Objective

The objective of this course is to extend the basic concepts of acoustical analysis and specifically to study wave propagation, sound radiation, absorption, and transmission in a manner directly relevant to noise control practice.

Topics Covered

1. Acoustic Intensity methods, theory and application - 11 lectures
2. 1-D propagation in ducts, acoustic filters and silencers - 10 lectures
3. Sound transmission through multi-layer barrier systems - 12 lectures
4. Higher order sound transmission in ducts - 11 lectures

Credit Hours

• 3 credit hours

Textbooks

• Fundamentals of Acoustics, 4th Edition, Kinsler, Frey, Koppens and Sanders, Wiley (2000)

Homework and Exams

• Up to five homework problem sets and/or short team projects will be assigned and graded during the course
• Final Exam

Instructor

• John Bolton
