Présentation
Four lectures (around 10 hours) and four series of exercises related to each lecture (around 30 hours). The titles of lecture are (see lecture notes on UMTICE for more details): Fundamental equations of acoustics (in fluids) - Plane waves - Cylindrical and spherical waves. - Guided waves - Modal analysis
Objectifs :Objectifs
The main objective of this course is that students have solid backgrounds on fundamental aspects of acoustics including : The fundamental equations of acoustics (backgrounds in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics) - The derivation of the wave equation (mostly for the usual case of uniform fluids at rest) - The acoustics of the gas column (resonance, free oscillations, coupling etc..) - Reflexion, transmission, and diffraction phenomena - Guided waves and the modal theory - Spherical and cylindrical waves (sound radiation, diffraction, guided waves in cylindrical ducts, etc...)
Pré-requis nécessaires :Conditions d'admission
Having backgrounds in acoustics is obviously a good point, but it is not es- sential. Having solid backgrounds in mathematics is essential. This includes : trigonometry, integration/derivation, asymptotic expansions of usual functions, solving of O.D.E., functions of multiple variables, vector analysis and operators (in various systems of coordinates) , linear algebra ... Reminders of useful formula will be provided, and exercise will be treated, but you need to know that we can’t ignore mathematics in this course...

Insertion professionnelle
75% working in a company (electroacoustic engineer), 25% working as PhD fellow
Electro Acoustics is an exciting area with multi-disciplinary studies of signal, electronics, sound and vibration phenomena. Our graduates are employed world-wide by companies, research centres and authorities involved in hearing aid systems, telephones, transducer manufacturing, audio-system engineering, sound and vibrations measurement equipment.
Typical examples of career opportunities as a specialist in electroacoustics are :
- Consumer electronics (phones, multimedia, nomad devices)
- Public address systems in buildings
- High power sound reinforcement for shows and events
- Transducers for automotive, aeronautical and rail transport
- Environment & health (noise reduction, hearing aids, …)
