Acoustics educational programme to be promoted
The Institute of Acoustics is the UK professional body for those working in acoustics, noise and vibration: their educational programme will be promoted more actively by a new Information Manager
Sonar transducers and numerical modelling seminar
The Institute of Acoustics Underwater Acoustics Group, in conjunction with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), is organising a conference on 'Sonar Transducers and Numerical Modelling'
This standard has been in revision for some years, and a draft for public comment was issued in August last year.
Now in two parts (split between blast-induced vibration and other sources), the proposed new standard uses new frequency weightings and assessment methods more in line with current research.
The Institute of Acoustics will hold a one day meeting on 13 March 2007, organised by the Measurement and Instrumentation Group of the IOA to discuss the latest revisions to the standard and current measurement projects.
This meeting, to be held at the Society of Chemical Industry, London, is a prime opportunity for consultants, environmental health practitioners, planners and instrumentation manufacturers to update themselves with the latest thinking, as the draft should become a standard by the time of the meeting.
Speakers are drawn from members of the standards committee, from contractors involved in current DEFRA projects, and experienced consultants in the field of environmental vibration.
The meeting will also provide an excellent occasion to network with all the key movers and shakers in the industry, and early booking is advised! Further details and the programme can be obtained from the IOA website, or telephone Linda Canty at the IOA. Request a free brochure from Institute of Acoustics ...
