A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Written by a noted authority in the subject area, this book is a comprehensive study of the theory and practical application of acoustics to numerous fields. It may be used as a reference by scientists and engineers or as a senior-undergraduate or graduate-level course. Several of the chapters include notes and numerical results from the author’s involvement in specific projects, and contain hitherto unpublished material. Items in this category are aero-acoustic instabilities, flow interaction with acoustic resonators, sound propagation in the atmosphere, sound generation by fans, aspects of nonlinear acoustics, the analysis of an oscillator with “dry friction,” and a discussion of the frequency response of the ear.

Features:

• Written by an international authority and winner of the Rayleigh Medal (Institute of Acoustics)
• Emphasizes a descriptive presentation to provide “physical insight” and aspects of “problem-solving” without sacrificing the importance of mathematical analysis
• Includes the author’s unpublished material on aero-acoustic instabilities, flow interaction with acoustic resonators, sound propagation in the atmosphere, aspects of nonlinear acoustics, the analysis of an oscillator with “dry friction,” and the frequency response of the ear
