Summary

"This book offers complete coverage of the various areas relating to the vibrations and vibro-acoustics of thin structures. It presents the subject in three distinct fields." "First, an introduction to the subject is provided, leading to discussion of the various types of thin structures (thin plates, beams, circular cylindrical shells, spherical shells, etc.) and the equations governing vibrations in these structures. Next, the vibratory response of thin structures is detailed, including resonance modes and forced harmonic and transient regimes. Finally, the book covers acoustic radiation and transmission by thin structures, and the problems this can cause in acoustical engineering. At the end of each of these sections exercises are provided so that readers can test their understanding of the subject." "This book will prove to be a valuable resource for both students and practicing engineers in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
