Outline and Purpose of the Course All energy consuming systems emit acoustical sound, and give us various informations. However, sound may also give us unpleasant feelings, as noise. Thus, it is very important to control sound or noise from various system to achieve confortable acoustic environment. Objective of this silence amenity engineering course is to understand basic theory and mechanism of sound radiation from vibration or air flow, which are necessary to improve our acoustical environment.
Course Goals Objective of this silence amenity engineering course is to get basic understand of sound radiation theory and mechanism, which is necessary to control noise.
Schedule and Contents 1. Introduction (week 1),
Objective and context of the course
2. Wave propagation theory (week 2-5)
Basic equations of air-borne and structure-borne sound, vibration and fluid dynamic noise
3. Mechanism of sound generation and its control (week 6-9),
Typical noise control methods based on sound generation and propagation theory.
Importance of noise regulation and standards
4. Group discussion (week 10-14)
Presentation and discussion based on academic paper on sound source identification and generation and propagation control of sound
5. Feedback (week 15)
Evaluation Methods and Policy Overall grading will be given based on student presentation (30%), and report (70%).
Course Requirements Understanding of geometrical acoustics within the texts for Environmental Engineering of Architecture II, or equivalent is required.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Find issues on sound amenity, read related papers and propose solutions.
