On the need of vibroacoustic axiomatics

Abstract

The term ‘vibroacoustics’ is nowadays a commonly used notion of interdisciplinary scientific domain which links the elements of the vibration theory and theoretical acoustics with practical (engineering) methods of solving problems in the field of vibrations and noise minimization using increasingly developing measurement methods (observations). Unanswered remains the question whether the discipline defined in such a way constitutes a separate study and therefore needs implementation of its own axiomatics which orders the domain and facilitates teaching. This paper shows that the lack of uniform fundamental assumptions might easily lead to serious mistakes
