Introduction to Acoustics (Part 2) (Coursera)

Introduction to Acoustics (Part 2) (Coursera)

Learners might have learned the basic concepts of the acoustics from the ‘Introduction to Acoustics (Part 1).’ Now it is time to apply to the real situation and develop their own acoustical application. Learners will analyze the radiation, scattering, and diffraction phenomenon with the Kirchhoff –Helmholtz Equation. Then learners will design their own reverberation room or ducts that fulfill the condition they have set up.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction

WEEK 2
Radiation
You will be going to learn breathing sphere problem, then compare with the trembling sphere problem.

WEEK 3
K-H Equation & Baffled Piston Problem
First, you will learn Kirchhoff-Helmholtz equation, then you will adapt into the baffled circular piston problem.

WEEK 4
Diffraction and scattering
Using Kirchhoff-Helmholtz equation that you have learned last week, you will apply into diffraction and scattering problem.

WEEK 5
Reverberation period and its design application
Now you will learn very practical acoustical phenomenon. With reverberation period and Sabine's theorem, you will be able to design an acoustical room that satisfies given condition.

WEEK 6
Wave propagation in space / duct acoustics
For the last, you will learn Helmholtz Resonator and the phenomenon about the duct acoustics

Effects of Radiation: An Introduction to Radiation and Radioactivity (edX)

There are many practical applications of radiation and radioactivity in various fields, including medical, scientific, and industrial activities. In some parts of Japan, people continue to experience environmental radioactivity caused by the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on a daily basis. Understanding the basic science of radiation and radioactivity will form the base of the course, with specific examples from Japan and elsewhere in the world to illustrate concepts.

Lectures on Selected Topics in Classical and Fluid Mechanics (Coursera)

This course is devoted to selected problems of classical (theoretical) and fluid mechanics which are usually remain outside the standard course of mechanics. Despite the fact that the course is aimed at students with an understanding of the methods and approaches of classical and fluid mechanics, several lectures of the course are devoted to revision of material from the course of classical (theoretical) mechanics. The course is aimed at an audience interested in theoretical physics methods for solving problems of classical and fluid mechanics. The course is designed for an audience that has previously attended general course of classical and fluid mechanics and courses of higher mathematics: mathematical analysis and differential equations theory.

Fundamentals of Non-Destructive Testing (edX)

Learn the fundamentals of non-destructive testing (NDT), a technique used to evaluate material and structure properties and defects without causing damage. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is used across industries to ensure product integrity and reliability; it is used in the aerospace, defense, oil and gas, and automotive sectors. In civil engineering, NDT is commonly used to detect flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures.

From the Big Bang to Dark Energy (Coursera)

We have learned a lot recently about how the Universe evolved in 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang. More than 80% of matter in the Universe is mysterious Dark Matter, which made stars and galaxies to form. The newly discovered Higgs-boson became frozen into the Universe a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang and brought order to the Universe.

Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. We will study the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion. This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.
