Book description
This book is a second edition of one with the same title which was published by the Cambridge University Press in two volume bearing the dates 1892 and 1893. At the time, about five years ago, when it first became necessary to think about a new edition, a number of friends had sent me criticism of particular sections of the book and suggestion for improvements in matters of detail. Among these friends Prof. W. J. Lewis and Prof. W. M. F. Orr must me named with especial gratitude. I knew then that two are three chapters ought to be written, and that the results of several new researches to be incorporated, but I did not contemplate a very extension revision. The task of rearranging the old matter, with some considerable addition and a few slight omissions become distasteful, and the result appear to unsatisfactory, that at the length I abandoned the attempt, and wrote a new book containing some extracts form the old one. The science of of Elasticity - the mechanics of solid bodies ad they really are - is so important in itself, and the physical nations and analytic processes belonging to the theory are so widely used in other branches of Physics, that no apology seems to be necessary for the course that has been pursued. In the selection, and the mode of presentation, of the matter three objects have been kept in view: to make the book useful to engineers, or others, whose aims are chiefly practical, to emphasize the bearing of the theory on general questions of natural physiology, to afford a reasonably complete picture of the state of the science as it is the to-day. The desire to be useful had let me to undertake some rather laborious arithmetical computations, physical interest has promoted some thing more than a passing reference to several matter which lie outside the strict scope of the mechanical theory, completeness has be required the inclusion of some rather long analytical investigations.

Book description
This two-volume set begins with a systematic development of basic concepts (such as strain, stress, viscous clamping) and co-ordinates in both tensor and matrix notation. The second volume applies the material developed in Volume One to various boundary value problems. Volume One begins with a systematic development of basic concepts (strain, stress, stiffness and compliance, viscous clamping) and coordinate transformations in both tensor and matrix notation. The basic elastic field equations are then written in a form analogous to Maxwell's equations. This analogy is then pursued when analyzing wave propagation in both isotropic and anisotropic solids. Piezoelectricity and bulk wave transducers are treated in the final chapter. Appendixes list slowness diagrams and material properties for various crystalline solids. Volume Two applies the material developed in Volume One to a variety of boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite media, waveguides, and resonators). Pursuing the electromagnetic analogue, analytic techniques commonly used in electromagnetism (for example, normal mode emissions), are applied to elastic problems. Two final chapters treat perturbation and variational methods. An appendix lists properties of Rayleigh surface waves on single crystal substrates.

Un excelente acercamiento a la acústica musical y la psicoacústica con interesantes explicaciones, de manera resumida, y apoyado con las investigaciones que se habían realizado en el momento de su escritura. El libro fue escrito en 1995, algunas de las investigaciones ya han sido superadas y otras ampliadas pero los fundamentos básicos siguen en plena vigencia. Este libro trata de los sistemas físicos y procesos neuropsicológicos que intervienen en lo que llamamos "música". Combina una discusión de acústica musical tradicional con una presentación de los más recientes descubrimientos en psicoacústica y función cerebral. Usando el lenguaje preciso de la ciencia, pero sin matemática complicada, el autor presenta un cuadro coherente e integrado de la física, psicoacústica y neuropsicología de la música, analizando la relación entre ciertas características de las ondas sonoras con las sensaciones psicológicas evocadas, y describiendo cómo estas ondas son generadas en los instrumentos musicales, cómo se propagan a través del medio ambiente, y como son detectadas por el oído e interpretadas por el cerebro. Además de ser de interés general para un público bien informado, amante de la música, este libro puede servir como texto principal o de consulta en cursos de teoría musical; también se espera que sea de interés para psicólogos y terapistas.

Book description
Architectural Acoustics Illustrated translates the quantitative and qualitative content of acoustics into the graphic language of architecture. This highly-visual guide includes over 350 illustrations that outline the physics of sound and the best design practices for limiting or mitigating noise in buildings by using the latest in materials and techniques. Each chapter includes a summary checklist of design guidelines to help prevent mistakes and oversights, and the Instructor?s website offers video animations demonstrating acoustical concepts. Designed as a "first look" at the interaction of sound and space, the book explains the principles of architectural acoustics and their practical applications, providing a comprehensive guide for designing with acoustics in mind. Architectural acoustics is more than just concert halls - it may determine building placement, division of interior space, exterior construction, and even siting. When addressed early in the design process, the resulting space can be free of unwanted sound and promote good hearing; if left unaddressed, the problems with the space can lead to lawsuits and costly post-construction remediation. Architectural Acoustics Illustrated helps designers solve most acoustical problems in advance, by enabling readers to: Understand the physical science underlying the behavior of sound Consider the interactions of sound and space in the initial design approach Mitigate building sounds such as those produced by HVAC and plumbing with early design planning Design spaces for listening, and incorporate acoustics best practices into every plan The highly visual format of the book helps readers grasp complex concepts quickly, and thorough discussion of each concept?s real-world application ties the science directly into the design process. All design professionals need to have a fundamental understanding of acoustics, and Architectural Acoustics Illustrated is a comprehensive, practical guide in an easy-to-read format.

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.

Cet ouvrage montre que les cordes réelles ne sont pas réductibles à la corde vibrante. Elles sont le siège de phénomènes vibratoires complexes, avec des amortissements d'origine diverse et des couplages de modes provenant des non-linéarités intrinsèques. Ces couplages interviennent en particulier dans le transitoire d'attaque. Des aspects structurels sont abordés, notamment dans les cordes filées. Dans certaines applications (instruments à chevalets plats ), des effets fortement non linéaires sont induits par une condition aux limites d'appui directionnel. Tous ces mécanismes conditionnent à des degrés divers les applications musicales (choix des cordes) et interviennent, d'une façon générale, dans les applications industrielles des fils précontraints.

Book description
Why does a piano sound like a piano? A similar question can be asked of virtually all musical instruments. A particular note - such as middle C - can be produced by a piano, a violin, a clarinet, and many other instruments, yet it is easy for even a musically untrained listener to distinguish between these different instruments. A central quest in the study of musical instruments is to understand why the sound of the "same" note depends greatly on the instrument, and to elucidate which aspects of an instrument are most critical in producing the musical tones characteristic of the instrument. The primary goal of Physics of the Piano is to investigate these questions for the piano. The explanations in this book use a minimum of mathematics, and are intended for anyone who is interested in music and musical instruments. At the same time, there are many insights relating physics and the piano that will likely be interesting and perhaps surprising for many physicists.

This is a book to be consulted rather than one to read in a single session. Certainly it is unique: there is no other that covers the same ground so comprehensively. J. NORMAN, The Organ Yearbook, XLIII (2014) … research on the musical instruments includes their historical development, the evolution of construction techniques, materials employed, timbre characteristics, sound yield and much besides… as essential an instrument to science historians as it is to musicians and musicologists. P. P. DONATI, Informazione organistica, XXVI-1 (2014) In conclusion, I think Barbieri has given us a very valuable book, summarizing as it does nine centuries of acoustical thinking about wind instruments and organ pipes. It is definitely a reference book, not an introductory text. The density of information is very high, and I would not suggest reading it from beginning to end like a novel. R. PYLE, The Galpin Society Journal, LXVIII (2015) It is a welcome ? and important ? addition to a still very much understudied field. The book should be received as nothing less than Barbieri’s opus magnum. … Complete with an extensive bibliography and a detailed index, this book, when regarded as a reference manual rather than a standard historical narrative, will be an essential entry point to the study of musical instruments.

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.

Kim starts with vibrations and waves, demonstrating how vibration can be envisaged as a kind of wave, mathematically and physically. One-dimensional waves are used to convey the fundamental concepts. Readers can then understand wave propagation in terms of characteristic and driving point impedance. The essential measures for acoustic waves, such as dB scale, octave scale, acoustic pressure, energy, and intensity, are explained. These measures are all realized by one-dimensional examples, which provide mathematically simplest but clear enough physical insights. Kim then moves on to explaining waves on a flat surface of discontinuity, demonstrating how propagation characteristics of waves change in space when there is a distributed impedance mismatch. Next is a chapter on radiation, scattering, and diffraction, where Kim shows how these topics can be explained in a unified way, by seeing the changes of waves due to spatially distributed impedance. Lastly, Kim covers sound in closed space, which is considered to be a space that is surrounded by spatially distributed impedance, and introduces two spaces: acoustically large and small space. The bulk of the book is concerned with introducing core fundamental concepts, but the appendices are included as the essentials as well to cover other important topics to extend learning. •Offers a less mathematically-intensive means to understand the subject matter •Provides an excellent launching point for more advanced study or for review of the basics •Based on classroom tested materials developed over the course of two decades •Companion site for readers, containing animations and MATLAB code downloads •Videos and impedance data available from the author's website •Presentation slides available for instructor use Sound Propagation is geared towards graduate students and advanced undergraduates in acoustics, audio engineering, and noise control engineering. Practicing engineers and researchers in audio engineering and noise control, or students in engineering and physics disciplines, who want to gain an understanding of sound and vibration concepts, will also find the book to be a helpful resource.

Book description
Unique in addressing two different problems – sound visualization and manipulation – in a unified way Advances in signal processing technology are enabling ever more accurate visualization of existing sound fields and precisely defined sound field production. The idea of explaining both the problem of sound visualization and the problem of the manipulation of sound within one book supports this inter-related area of study. With rapid development of array technologies, it is possible to do much in terms of visualization and manipulation, among other technologies involved with the spatial distribution of sound. This book aims to explore various basic functions for the visualization and manipulation and demonstrate to the reader how these properties determine the quality of visualization and manipulation. The first half of the book introduces some basic and general concepts and theories and the second part of the book explains a number of techniques in sound visualization and manipulation. It offers a unified presentation to two very different topics - sound field visualization techniques based on microphone arrays, and techniques for generation of controlled sound fields using loudspeaker arrays. The authors emphasize the similarities between these two physical problems and between the mathematical methods used for solving them. With extensive examples throughout the book, chapters include: Acoustic Wave Equation and its Basic Physical Measures, Acoustic Wave Equation and its Basic Physical Measures, Basic Theory of Sound Visualization, Acoustic Holography, Beamforming, Basic Theory of Sound Manipulation, Sound Focusing, and Sound Field Reproduction. •The first book to combine both the visualization and manipulation of sound technologies in one comprehensive volume •Presents the basic concepts using simple one dimensional cases and then extends the concept to three dimensional cases, enabling easier understanding of the fundamental concepts through the use of minimum mathematics •Provides a solid understanding of associated physics as well as mathematical concepts for understanding the technologies, addressing diffraction problems in an integrated format by using Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation •Uses extensive examples demonstrating the benefits and drawbacks of various applications, including beamforming and acoustic holography A valuable resource forpost/graduate students, acoustic engineers, audio and noise control system developers.

This volume, available for the first time in paperback, is a standard work on the physical aspects of acoustics. Starting from first principles, the authors have successfully produced a unified and thorough treatment of the subjects of generation, propagation, absorption, reflection, and scattering of compressional waves in fluids, progressing to such topics as moving sound sources, turbulence, and wave-induced vibration of structures. Material is included on viscous and thermal effects, on the acoustics of moving media, on plasma acoustics, on nonlinear effects, and on the interaction between light and sound. Problems, with answers in many cases, are given at the end of each chapter. They contain extensions to further applications, thus enhancing the reference value of the book. Many of the examples worked out in the text and in the problem solutions were not previously published. Anyone familiar with calculus and vector analysis should be able to understand the mathematical techniques used here.

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.

Written for voice professionals, their teachers and those who care for their voices, this unique book covers voice acoustics, the effect of the acoustics of spaces on the voice, and how to make a voice recording properly. The book is wholly practical and written in a manner which is rooted in science but which is designed to enable understanding by non-scientists and voice practitioners alike. The authors provide an outline of acoustics and the human voice, before going on to cover ways in which voice users - from professional and amateur singers and performers, through lawyers, to school teachers - the largest group reporting to clinics with vocal problems - can improve vocal efficiency, regardless of location, and vocal health. Also covered are methods of amplification, whether through microphones, or simply by posture or stance and best methods for sound recording.

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.
