s2501593 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I'm looking for a resource that shows laptop durability under high noise levels such as over 120 dB broadband noise over a given time? Any help appreciated.
Externet Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Hello. Durability in hours = CPU speed(in MHz) x number of built-in microphones ÷ SPL (120dB) times the noise wavelenght in metres x Degrees (in Kelvin scale). For chinese built, multiply by the factor K= 0.3165656 Yields a margin of error of 0.4%, quite acceptable. Miguel
s2501593 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 I tried that first, but to no avail. I thought that someone here may have another suggestion...
Kovich Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Sound is merely a rapidly time-varying pressure AC component which combines with the DC atmospheric pressure via linear superposition (i.e. they simply sum together). A Sound Pressure Level of 120 dB represents an AC RMS pressure of 20 Pascals (you'll need your industrial ear defenders!). However, as the average pressure of a noise signal is actually zero, then the net force on your laptop will be also be zero. Edit: Which of course means that any laptop will do.
