Handbook of Acoustics
Wiley-Interscience (Verlag)
978-0-471-25293-1 (ISBN)
In more than 100 clearly written chapters, experts from around the world share their knowledge and expertise in topics ranging from basic aerodynamics and jet noise to acoustical signal processing, and from the interaction of fluid motion and sound to infrasound, ultrasonics, and quantum acoustics. Topics covered include:
* General linear acoustics
* Nonlinear acoustics and cavitation
* Aeroacoustics and atmospheric sound
* Mechanical vibrations and shock
* Statistical methods in acoustics
* Architectural acoustics
* Physiological acoustics
* Underwater sound
* Ultrasonics, quantum acoustics, and physical aspects of sound
* Noise: its effects and control
* Acoustical signal processing
* Psychological acoustics
* Speech communication
* Music and musical acoustics
* Acoustical measurements and instrumentation
* Transducers
The Handbook of Acoustics belongs on the reference shelf of every engineer, architect, research scientist, or designer with a professional interest in the propagation, control, transmission, and effects of sound.
MALCOLM J. CROCKER is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University, where he teaches and conducts research sponsored by industry and government in acoustics, noise, and vibration control. He is also the editor of the critically acclaimed Encyclopedia of Acoustics. He has published 80 refereed papers and 12 previous books on acoustics and noise control.
