ENGR 614

The first part of this course introduces engineering vibration theories, including free, harmonic, and forced vibration response of single- and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems, distributed parameter systems, and experimental techniques in vibration testing, including non-destructive testing and the application of engineering vibration in non-seismic-related building design. The second part covers room acoustics, sound insulation performance of wall and floor assemblies, and sound transmission in wood buildings. The labs include modal testing and analysis, vibration data processing, reverberation time measurement, and sound insulation testing.
