engineering units (EU)

Science; Acoustics

The units in which a measurement is made; for instance velocity may be expressed in millimeters per second, feet per second, miles per hour, etc., depending on the use to which ...

wave velocity

Science; Acoustics

The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency.

daily exposure - vibration (Aeq8)

Science; Acoustics

The vibration a worker is exposed to during a working day, normalized to an 8-hour reference period, taking account of the magnitude and duration of the vibration - more details.

waveform

Science; Acoustics

The waveform is the shape of a time domain signal as seen on an oscilloscope screen. It is a visual representation or graph of the instantaneous value of the signal plotted ...

impulse response

Science; Acoustics

The way a device responds to an impulse. For example, the reverberation of a room can also be thought of as its impulse response. A great deal of information about a device can be ...

minimum audible field (MAF)

Science; Acoustics

The zero phon curve on the equal loudness contours.

ensemble averaging

Science; Acoustics

There are two ways to create an average or sample mean. Firstly take the numbers for ten components at any one time (i.e. a vertical column) add them and divide by ten. This is ...
