Hotel & Travel Information

Gain an understanding of the basic physical principles needed to solve noise problems. This seminar provides an introduction to the physical principles, language and fundamental techniques used to control noise. Emphasis will be placed on the practical implications of the physical principles behind noise control. A short introduction will be given to the subjective measures of noise that serve as the background for many of the noise measurement methods in common use. The control of existing product noise through the design of enclosures and barriers as well as empirical approaches to the control of noise in cooling systems & hydraulic systems will be covered. Upon completion of the seminar, the student will be able to choose the appropriate noise control mechanism (absorption, barriers, source modification) and avoid the costly over application of noise control materials, which is common in retrofit programs.

Learning Objectives
By attending this seminar, you will:

• Become familiar with the terminology used in noise control
• Gain an understanding of the basic physical principles needed to solve noise problems. Success in "noise control", like many other areas, rests with a good grasp of the fundamentals
• Gain an understanding of the materials used to control noise and vibration (how specified and applied)

Who Should Attend
This seminar is intended for engineers who have recently been assigned responsibilities in the area of product noise control. It will also be beneficial for engineering managers who must evaluate the noise control programs that are within their area of responsibility.

Prerequisites
An undergraduate engineering degree in any discipline is recommended. Material presented will be practical in nature with mathematics limited to the level encountered in a freshman-engineering program.

Instructor(s): Robert F. Hand
Robert Hand has more than 40 years of experience in the measurement and control of noise and vibration. A former research engineer with the Acoustics and Seismics Laboratory at the University of Michigan, Willow Run Laboratories, he has served as the noise and vibration control specialist for the Corporate Laboratories of Clark Equipment Company, and later the general manager of Clark Engineering Services. Mr. Hand founded Redbud Technology Group, a noise and vibration consulting business. He has served as chairman of the SAE Con. Ag. Sound Level Technical Committee and the CIMA Acoustics Committee, and has produced the SAE technical video tutorial, Basic Noise Control, and regularly teaches the SAE noise control seminar. Mr. Hand has lectured at the University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin and Western Michigan University, as well as participated in numerous SAE technical sessions, and has taken graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame and is an active member of the SAE, INCE and ASA. He has a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and an M.A. in management from Nazareth College.
