SEMESTER VIII
EC1023 ENGINEERING ACOUSTICS
AIM
  This course aims at providing an overview of engineering acoustics.
OBJECTIVE
  • To provide mathematical basis for acoustics waves
  • To introduce the concept of radiation reception absorption and  attenuation of acoustic waves.
  • To present the characteristic behaviour of sound in pipes,  resonators and filters.
  • To introduce the properties of hearing and speech
  • To describe the architecture and environmental inclusive of  reverberation and noise.
  • To give a detailed study on loud speakers and microphones.
UNIT I           9
  Acoustics waves – Linear wave equation – sound in fluids – Harmonic  plane waves – Energy density – Acoustics intensity – Specific acoustic  impedance – spherical waves – Describer scales.
  Reflection and Transmission:
  Transmission from one fluid to another normal and oblique incidence –  method of images.
UNIT II  RADIATION AND RECEPTION OF ACOUSTIC WAVES 9
  Radiation from a pulsating sphere – Acoustic reciprocity – continuous  line source - radiation impedance - Fundamental properties of  transducers.
  Absorption and attenuation of sound
  Absorption from viscosity – complex sound speed and absorption –  classical absorption coefficient
UNIT III  PIPES RESONATORS AND FILTERS    9
  Resonance in pipes - standing wave pattern absorption of sound in  pipes – long wavelength limit – Helmoltz resonator - acoustic impedance -  reflection and transmission of waves in pipe - acoustic filters – low  pass, high pass and band pass.
  Noise, Signal detection, Hearing and speech
  Noise, spectrum level and band level – combing band levels and tones –  detecting signals in noise – detection threshold – the ear –  fundamental properties of hearing – loudness level and loudness – pitch  and frequency – voice.
UNIT IV  ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS:    9
  Sound in endosure – A simple model for the growth of sound in a room –  reverberation time - Sabine, sound absorption materials – measurement  of the acoustic output of sound sources in live rooms – acoustics factor  in architectural design.
  Environmental Acoustics:
  Weighted sound levels speech interference – highway noise – noise  induced hearing loss – noise and architectural design specification and  measurement of some isolation design of portions.
UNIT V  TRANSDUCTION      9
  Transducer as an electives network – canonical equation for the two  simple transducers transmitters – moving coil loud speaker – loudspeaker  cabinets – horn loud speaker, receivers – condenser – microphone –  moving coil electrodynamics microphone piezoelectric microphone –  calibration of receivers.
