Description
Book SynopsisFrom jet engine noise that generates vibrations in the structure of an aircraft, to the sound radiation from the hull of a ship or submarine that makes it identifiable, an understanding of structural acoustics is key in the design process in maritime, automotive, aerospace, and architectural engineering. Building on classic works in the field, Structural Acoustics: Deterministic and Random Phenomena presents fundamental concepts, relations, and simplified methods for calculating complex problems associated with vibrations and noise issues of automobiles, ships, submarines, and aircraft. This practical reference studies the response of structures and media that are coupled with a fluid and are under static, dynamic, and random loading.
Simplified solutions to complicated problems
Starting with a review of the fundamentals of acoustics and structural acoustics, the book discusses the response of the beams, plates, and shells that compose mo
Trade Review
"…the culmination of a long-term research program in the field of structural acoustics undertaken by one of the most distinguished pioneers in this field. … a valuable addition to the meager number of books in structural acoustics. It complements Junger and Feit’s book Sound structures and their Interactions. The book is targeted equally to graduate students and acoustical researchers."
