E.F.F. Chladni's experiments and observations with sound and
vibrations profoundly influenced the development of the field of
Acoustics. The famous Chladni diagrams along with other
observations are contained in Die Akustik, published in German in
1802 and Traite d'Acoustique, a greatly expanded version, published
in French in 1809. This is the first comprehensive translation of
the expanded French version of Traite d'Acoustique, using the 1802
German publication for reference and clarification. The translation
was undertaken by Robert T. Beyer, PhD (1920-2008), noted
acoustician, Professor of Physics at Brown University, and Gold
Medal recipient of the Acoustical Society of America. Along with
many other projects completed over the course of his career, Dr.
Beyer translated Von Neumann's seminal work, Mathematical
Foundations of Quantum Mechanics from the original German, spent 30
years translating Russian physics treatises and journals, served as
editor of the English translation of the Soviet Journal of
Experimental and Theoretical Physics, and also authored Sounds of
our Times: Two Hundred Years of Acoustics.
