Acoustics

atmospheric pressure (atm)

Science; Acoustics

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface. Standard atmospheric pressure, at sea level, is equal to 101.325 kPa the preferred SI ...

mass flow rate

Science; Acoustics

Mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes through a given surface per unit of time. SI units = kilogram per second - kg/s

Integration is the mathematical operation that is the inverse of differentiation. In vibration analysis, integration will convert an acceleration signal into a velocity signal, or a velocity signal ...

criterion level

Science; Acoustics

Criterion level is the maximum Leq sound level allowed for an 8-hour period and corresponds to the 100% noise dose value.

oscillation

Science; Acoustics

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples include a ...

weber (Wb)

Science; Acoustics

Weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux, volt-seconds, causing the electromotive force of one volt in a circuit of one turn when generated or removed in 1 second.
