Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions (Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics) by M. S. Howe (Author)

Book description
Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions addresses the absorption of noise and vibration by fluid flow. Howe presents useful background material on fluid mechanics and the elementary concepts of classical acoustics and structural vibrations. Using examples, many of which include complete worked solutions, he vividly illustrates the theoretical concepts involved. He provides the basis for all calculations necessary for the determination of sound generation by aircraft, ships, general ventilation and combustion systems, as well as musical instruments.
An enormous range of material, taken from nearly five hundred references, is arranged in a systematic way.

Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics by David T. Blackstock (Author)

Book description
Mathematical results and physical explanations go hand in hand, and a unique feature of the book is the balance it strikes between time-domain and frequency-domain presentations. Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics is intended for a two-semester, first-year graduate course, but is also suitable for advanced undergraduates. Emphasis on plane waves in the first part of the book keeps the mathematics simple yet accommodates a broad range of topics: propagation, reflection and transmission, normal modes and simple waveguides for rectilinear geometries, horns, inhomogeneous media, and sound absorption and dispersion. The second part of the book is devoted to a more rigorous development of the wave equation, spherical and cylindrical waves (including the more advanced mathematics required), advanced waveguides, baffled piston radiation, diffraction (treated in the time domain), and arrays. Applications and examples are drawn from:. Atmospheric acoustics. Noise control. Underwater acoustics. Engineering acoustics. Acoustical measurements. Supplemented with more than 300 graphs and figures as well as copious end-of-chapter problems, Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics is also an excellent professional reference for engineers and scientists.

Nonlinear Acoustics: Theory and Applications by Mark F. Hamilton (Author), David T. Blackstock (Author)

Book description
Nonlinear Acoustics: Theory and Applications is an introductory text on the theory and applications of nonlinear acoustics. This book develops the theory on nonlinear acoustics from physical principles.

Benchmark experiences are described and many applications are discussed in detail. The second half covers special topics and applications, both theory and experiment. The material is accessible to anyone familiar with the principles normally encountered in a basic course on the physical aspects of linear acoustics. Each chapter is written by experts in their respective fields.

Principles of Vibration and Sound by Thomas D. Rossing (Author), Neville H Fletcher (Author)

Book description
This book discusses the physics of mechanical vibrating systems, emphasizing normal modes of vibration. Beginning with the basics of free and forced motions of a simple harmonic oscillator (with electrical analogs indicated where appropriate), it goes on to discuss vibrations in one-dimensional systems, such as strings and bars, and two-dimensional systems, such as membranes and plates. The discussion of coupled systems includes strong as well as weak coupling and presents both mechanical and electrical examples. The treatment includes nonlinear systems and self-excited oscillators, as well as a brief explanation of modal analysis, including finite-element methods and modal testing. The concluding third of the book discusses the propagation of sound in air, including radiation, transmission, absorption, and diffraction. The treatment of radiation covers point, dipole, line, plane, and other sources, both with and without baffles. Propagation of sound in various kinds and shapes of pipes, horns and other acoustic components is discussed. Suitable as a text for advanced undergraduates, the book provides the foundations needed to understand the acoustics of rooms and musical instruments as well as the basics for scientists and engineers interested in noise and vibration.

The Dynamical Theory of Sound (Dover Phoenix Editions) by Horace Lamb (Author)

Book description
Teoría y ecuaciones interesantes. A comprehensive mathematical treatment of the physical aspects of sound, this volume covers the theory of vibrations, the general theory of sound, and the equations of motion of strings, bars, membranes, pipes, and resonators. Author Horace Lamb also includes chapters on plane waves, spherical waves, and simple harmonic waves, thus giving a connected view of all the more important branches in the dynamics of sound. A concluding chapter extends the book’s domain to include physiological acoustics, with examinations of the analysis of sound sensations, the influence of overtones on quality, and the Helmholtz theory of audition. 1925 ed. 86 figures.

Theory of Vortex Sound by M. S. Howe (Author)

Book description
This is an introduction to the branch of fluid mechanics concerned with the production of sound by hydrodynamic flows. It is designed for a one semester introductory course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Great care is taken to explain underlying fluid mechanical and acoustic concepts, and to describe fully the steps in a complicated derivation. The discussion deals specifically with low Mach number flows, which enables the sound produced by `vortex-surface' interactions to be analyzed using the `compact Green's function'. This provides a routine procedure for estimating the sound, and an easy identification of those parts of a structure that are likely to be important sources of sound.

Waves and Compressible Flow (Texts in Applied Mathematics) by Hilary Ockendon (Author), John R. Ockendon (Author)

Book description
This books provides students and researchers with a basis for understanding the wide range of wave phenomena with which any mathematician may be confronted in applications. Compressible flow is the main focus of the book however the authors show how wave phenomena in electromagnetism and solid mechanics can be treated using similar mathematical methods. This book originated from a course at Oxford University and previous book by H. Ockendon and R. Taylor entitled "Inviscid Fluid Flows". This monograph has been retitled and revised throughly to reflect scientific interest. The book has exercises at the end of each chapter and should appeal to senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in fluid mechanics.
