Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge of basic physical quantities for description of noise and vibrations in the working and living environment. Basic overview of standards and regulations concerning the measurement and evaluation of the noise and vibrations. Basic information about techniques for decreasing the noise and vibrations.

Prerequisites

Oscillations. Simple harmonic motion. Superposition of harmonic oscillations. Waves. Types of waves: Longitudinal and transversal waves. Plane and spherical waves. Linear polarized waves. Superposition and interference of waves.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

To receive a course-unit credit, a student has to attend all laboratory measurements and to hand over the reports. The exam has 2 parts: oral and written (theory and a solution of a problem).

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students acquainted with problems caused by noise and vibrations so that they will be able to monitor the sound fields and vibrations, to measure relevant physical quantities and apply theoretical laws for their reduction. Acquiring basic knowledge about standards and regulation limits.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

A teacher checks the attendance in labs stated in the timetable. The form and the date of the compensation of missed lessons are specified by the teacher.
