Fundamentals of Acousticsby Michel Bruneau; Thomas Scelo
ISTE 2006; US$ 179.00The objective of this book is to provide a fundamental grounding in acoustics necessary for an understanding of the scientific and technical literature in this area, while also presenting the major applications of acoustic engineering. The coverage is limited to acoustics in fluids and the methods explained most often use an analytical approach. The central theme of the eleven chapters is acoustic propagation in fluid media, dissipative or non-dissipative, homogeneous or non-homogeneous, infinite or limited; the emphasis being on the theoretical formulation of the problems considered rather than their practical aspects. more...
Master Handbook of Acousticsby F. Alton Everest
McGraw-Hill 2000; US$ 39.95The goal of this book is to apply the principles of acoustics to the audio arts. This involves serving as an interpreter of major trends and the literature for students and practitioners in the audio field. Along with covering the more theoretical aspects of acoustics, the book applies the theory to the design of specialized audio spaces such as the home listening room, the control room, and the multi-track-recording studio. more...
Acousticsby Paul Filippi; Aime Bergassoli; Dominique Habault; Jean Pierre Lefebvre
Elsevier 1998; US$ 126.00The book is devoted to the very basis of acoustics and vibro-acoustics. The physics of the phenomena, the analytical methods and the modern numerical techniques are presented in a concise form. Many examples illustrate the fundamental problems and predictions (analytic or numerical) and are often compared to experiments. Some emphasis is put on the mathematical tools required by rigorous theory and reliable prediction methods. Key Features * a series of practical problems, which reflect the content of each chapter * reference to the major treatises and fundamental recent papers * current computing techniques, used in problem solving more...
Acousticsby Heinrich Kuttruff
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 70.95The definitive and authoritative introduction to acoustics; from the basic principles, to worked examples of practical applications to the properties of human hearing, Kuttruff provides a solid text for students. more...
Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scaleby William A. Sethares
Springer 2005; US$ 119.00Aimed at musicians and composers who use inharmonic tones and sounds, this book-and-CD package offers an analysis of the relationship between the structure of sound and the structure of scale. It also provides a fresh approach to working with environmental sounds, and presents applications for the use of inharmonic sounds in film scoring. more...
Physical Acoustics in the Solid Stateby B. Lüthi
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 259.00Suitable for researchers and graduate students in physics and material science, Physical Acoustics in the Solid State reviews the modern aspects in the field, including many experimental results, especially those involving ultrasonics. Practically all fields of solid-state physics are covered: metals, semiconductors, magnetism, superconductivity, different kinds of phase transitions, low-dimensional systems, and the quantum Hall effect. After a review of the relevant experimental techniques and an introduction to the theory of elasticity, emphasizing the symmetry aspects, applications in the various fields of condensed matter physics are presented. Also treated are Brillouin-scattering results and results from thermodynamic investigations,... more...
Reference for Modern Instrumentation, Techniques, and Technologyby R. N. Thurston; Allan D. Pierce; Emmanuel P. Papadakis
Elsevier 1998; US$ 244.00While research on ultrasonics has been covered in earlier volumes of the Physical Acoustics series, Volumes 23 and 24 demonstrate the successful commercialization of devices and instruments arising from research in this area. These volumes will assist in the process of bringing research output into the marketplace to the benefit of customers. The chapters are liberally illustrated with pictures of actual commercial objects which have been or are in use. Included are Medical Ultrasonic Diagnostics, Nondestructive Testing (NDT), Acoustic Emission, Process Control, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Devices, Frequency Control Devices, Research Instruments, Transducers, and Ultrasonic Microscopes. Also contained in the text are six essays covering technology... more...
Auralizationby Michael Vorlander
Springer 2007; US$ 159.00In acoustics, auralization, which means being analogue to the technique of "visualization", takes place when acoustic effects, primary sound signals or means of sound reinforcement, are processed to be presented by using electro-acoustic equipment. This book presents the basics, methodology and strategies of acoustic simulation and auralization. more...
Soundby Natalie M Rosinsky
Picture Window Books 2003; US$ 18.95Sound is created through vibrations that vary in pitch and volume. This creates sound-waves that you can hear. Includes experiments. more...
