  • Communication Acousticsby Jens Blauert

    Springer 2005; US$ 149.00

    Communication Acoustics deals with the fundamentals of those areas of acoustics which are related to modern communication technologies. Due to the advent of digital signal processing and recording in acoustics, these areas have enjoyed an enormous upswing during the last 4 decades. The book chapters represent review articles covering the most relevant areas of the field. They are written with the goal of providing students with comprehensive introductions. Further they offer a supply of numerous references to the relevant literature. Besides its usefulness as a textbook, this will make the book a source of valuable information for those who want to improve or refresh their knowledge in the field of communication acoustics and to work their... more...

  • Structure-Borne Soundby L. Cremer; M. Heckl; B.A.T. Petersson

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 249.00

    Structure-Borne Sound" is a thorough introduction to structural vibrations with emphasis on audio frequencies and the associated radiation of sound. The book presents in-depth discussions of fundamental principles and basic problems, in order to enable the reader to understand and solve his own problems. It includes chapters dealing with measurement and generation of vibrations and sound, various types of structural wave motion, structural damping and its effects, impedances and vibration responses of the important types of structures, as well as with attenuation of vibrations, and sound radiation from structures. For the third edition, the author fundamentally revised and newly organized the contents of the work. Nevertheless, the intention... more...

  • Designing Quiet Structuresby Gary H. Koopmann; John B. Fahnline

    Elsevier 1997; US$ 125.00

    This book is the first of its kind. It provides the reader with a logical and highly quantitative means of including noise as a parameter in the early design stages of a machine or structure. The unique and unified methodology builds upon the familiar disciplines of acoustics, structural dynamics and optimization. It also exemplifies the art of simplification - the essence of all good engineering design. = Strategies for designing quiet structures require extensive analytical and experimental tools. For computing the sound power from complex structures the authors recommend a new 3-D, lumped parameter formulation. Not only this, they also include, on diskette, an original numerical program POWER. This fully developed, user-friendly program... more...

  • Foundations of Engineering Acousticsby Frank J. Fahy

    Elsevier 2000; US$ 136.00

    Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey from a qualitative introduction to the physical nature of sound, explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and analytical results which underlie the techniques applied by the engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their products. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions and explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their relevance to engineering, supported by a wealth of diagrams, and by a guide for teachers of tried and tested class demonstrations and laboratory-based experiments. Foundations of Engineering Acoustics is a textbook suitable for both senior undergraduate and postgraduate courses in mechanical,... more...

  • Praktische Maschinenakustik (VDI-Buch) (German Edition)by Roland Angert; Franz G. Kollmann; Thomas F. Schösser

    Springer 2006; US$ 135.00

    Praktische Probleme der Maschinenakustik sind komplex. Aus diesem Grund wird im vorliegenden Buch vorrangig die indirekte Kette der Schallabstrahlung behandelt. Es werden Berechnungsgleichungen, akustische Messverfahren und konstruktive Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung der indirekten Abstrahlung von Geräuschen vorgestellt. Ausgehend von den im Inneren einer Maschine wirkenden dynamischen Kräften werden die Anregung von Körperschall und dessen Abstrahlung von der Oberfläche der Maschine behandelt. more...

  • Technische Akustik (VDI-Buch) (German Edition)by Michael Möser

    Springer 2005; US$ 79.95

    Dieses schon klassische Werk ist in Stoffauswahl und Aufbau einzigartig und bewährt, seine Themenauswahl widmet sich der Ingenieurausbildung. Im Fokus stehen die wichtigsten Maßnahmen zur Beruhigung der akustischen Umwelt. Alle Kapitel stellen direkt und indirekt die Frage, wie die Lautstärke in den praktisch wichtigsten akustischen Umgebungen (in Gebäuden und im Freien) verringert werden kann. Den so genannten Maßnahmenkapiteln werden die Medienkapitel vorangestellt, die das erforderliche Grundlagenwissen über die Natur von Schall und Schwingungen vermitteln. Gegenüber der Vorauflage hat der Umfang um 50 Seiten zugenommen. Hervorzuheben ist ein neues Kapitel zu den Grundfragen und Tatsachen der "aktiven Lärmbekämpfung". Folgendes wurde u.a.... more...

  • Ultrasonic Processes and Machinesby V.K. Astashev; Vladimir I. Babitsky

    Springer 2007; US$ 189.00

    This work presents the foundations of dynamic and control for ultrasonic processing systems.This book considers ultrasonic systems as special vibratory machines that function by exploiting nonlinear dynamic processes. Recommendations are given for designing and tuning ultrasonic machines. The ultrasonic machines analysed are predominantly concerned with the processing of solids. Applications include: ultrasonic erosion, ultrasonic hardening, ultrasonic welding, ultrasonically assisted plastic deformation, ultrasonically assisted turning, and ultrasonically assisted drilling. This book is intended for advanced students, engineers and researchers who are involved with the study, design and application of ultrasonic processing systems. Lecturers... more...

  • Acoustics for Engineersby Jens Blauert; Ning Xiang
