Summary

Noise is a ubiquitous industrial pollutant whose impact on urban, and increasingly on rural society worldwide is considerable. Noise and vibration are now major factors in determining the marketability and competitiveness of wide range of manufactured products from domestic appliances to aircraft. Controlling noise and vibration effectively at source demands highly skilled engineers. Concern about the effects of noise and vibration on the human environment has lead to the formulation of exposure standards for environmental noise and vibration and there is a need for specialists with a detailed understanding of the environmental and human effects of noise and vibration.Advanced Applications in Noise and Vibrationis based on the second semester of the postgraduate instructional Masters Course in Sound and Vibration Studies at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research in the University of Southampton. The main objective of the course is to provide students with the skills and knowledgerequired to practice in the field of noise and vibration control technology. Many of the chapters use examples of models and forms of analysis to illustrate the principles which they introduce. The book is structured in five parts, covering the following key areas: Applied Digital Signal Processing, Theoretical and Aeroacoustics, Environmental and Industrial Acoustics, Vibration and Ultrasound and Underwater Acoustics. The book presents advanced treatments of acoustic and vibration phenomena together with summaries of the latest knowledge, analysis and methods currently available for dealing with a wide range of practical problems affecting people, the environment, industrial activities and products, and engineering systems.
