Underwater Acoustic Modelling and Simulationby Paul. C Etter
Spon Press 2003; US$ 300.00Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation examines the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical models that can simulate acoustic propagation, noise and reverberation in the ocean. These models are used more...
European Conference on Underwater Acousticsby M. Weydert
Spon Press 1992; US$ 840.00This book represents the proceedings of the Conference on Underwater Acoustics, held in September 1992, to bring together all the various disciplines involved in a forum to present the latest research on all aspects of marine acoustics. more...
Theoretical And Computational Acoustics 2003by Alexandra Tolstoy; Yu-Chiung Teng; E C Shang
World Scientific 2004; US$ 156.00The ICTCA conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for active researchers in academia and industry who are of varying backgrounds to discuss the state-of-the-art developments and results in theoretical and computational acoustics and related topics. The papers presented at the meeting cover acoustical problems of common interest across disciplines and their accurate mathematical and numerical modeling. This volume collects papers that were presented at the sixth meeting. The subjects include geophysics, scattering and diffraction, the parabolic equation (with special sessions in honor of Dr Fred Tappert), seismic exploration, boundary element methods, visualization, oil industry applications, shallow water acoustics, matched field tracking,... more...
Fundamentals of Acoustical Oceanographyby Herman Medwin; Clarence S. Clay
Elsevier 1997; US$ 104.95The developments in the field of ocean acoustics over recent years make this book an important reference for specialists in acoustics, oceanography, marine biology, and related fields. Fundamentals of Acoustical Oceanography also encourages a new generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to apply the modern methods of acoustical physics to probe the unknown sea. The book is an authoritative, modern text with examples and exercises. It contains techniques to solve the direct problems, solutions of inverse problems, and an extensive bibliography from the earliest use of sound in the sea to present references. Written by internationally recognized scientists, the book provides background to measure ocean parameters and processes,... 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...

The Handbook of Sidescan Sonarby Philippe Blondel
Springer 2009; US$ 209.00Seafloor surveying with acoustic remote sensing has become a powerful tool for researchers and professionals seeking knowledge about the structure and behavior of the seafloor. In particular, sidescan sonar is proving to be the preeminent technique, but its data is often difficult to interpret due to the physics of acoustic remote sensing, and to the varied geological processes at play. This not only presents all the fundamentals but also explains how to interpret sidescan sonar imagery and bathymetry. It fully epxlores the most recent advances, both in the technology and in the knowledge of marine structures, and provides deep insights for interpretation and decision-making. Broadly expanded and updated from the previous 1997 "Handbook... more...
Ocean Acoustic Tomographyby Walter Munk; Peter Worcester; Carl Wunsch
Cambridge University Press 1995; US$ 67.00This book presents the oceanography and mathematics necessary to develop a practical system to interpret the behaviour of the oceans. more...
