Acoustical Engineering

This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area, and diffuser design, application and characterisation are often not well understood by practitioners. Although absorption is more widely understood, it is also in..

This book describes the use of ANSYS finite element analysis software and MATLAB® to solve acoustic problems. These range from simple textbook problems, to complex ones that can only be solved using FEA software. The book includes instructions on relevant mathematical modelling, and hints on the use..

This definitive textbook provides students with a comprehensive introduction to acoustics. Beginning with the basic physical ideas, Acoustics balances the fundamentals with engineering aspects, applications and electroacoustics, also covering music, speech and the properties of human hearing. The co..

This book offers a uniquely complete and rigorous study of sound propagation and scattering in moving media that have deterministic and random inhomogeneities in adiabatic sound speed, density, and medium velocity. It is a resource for engineers and scientists who work in atmospheric and oceanic aco..

The principal aim of this text is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date overviews of knowledge, applications and research activities in a range of topics that are of current interest in the practice of engineering acoustics and vibration...

Aircraft noise has adverse impacts on passengers, airport staff, and people living near airports. Reducing perceived noise of aircraft involves reduction of noise at the source, along the propagation path, and at the receiver. This volume demonstrates how accurate and reliable information about airc..

This classic and authoritative student textbook is directed to the real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as the more straightforward ones handled by engineers and occupational hygienists in industry. It covers the fundamentals of acoustics, and the theory and pra..

This book sets out the physical and engineering principles of acoustics and ultrasound as used for medical applications. It covers the basics of linear acoustics, wave propagation, non-linear acoustics, acoustic properties of tissue, transducer components, and ultrasonic imaging modes, as well as th..
