Acoustics deals with the production, control, transmission,
reception, and effects of sound. Owing to acoustics being an
interdisciplinary field, this book is intended to be equally
accessible to readers from a range of backgrounds including
electrical engineering, physics and mechanical engineering.
This book introduces the fundamentals of acoustic wave motion.
It addresses in a clear and systematic way some of the most
difficult parts of acoustics for beginners, such as the widely
different approximations due to the wide frequency range, the
apparently arbitrary choice between the use of analytical solutions
to the wave equation with boundary conditions, and the
fundamentally different energy-based considerations used in noise
control. As a result, it provides readers with a self-contained
source of information on acoustics which can be used for self-study
or as a graduate course text.
Key features: Places an emphasis on detailed derivations based
on the fundamental laws of physics and interpretations of the
resulting formulas.Avoids, where possible, electrical and
mechanical equivalent circuits, so as to make it accessible to
readers with different backgrounds.Introduces duct acoustics, sound
in enclosures, and sound radiation and scattering.Contains a set of
appendices which includes material on signal analysis and
processing as these tools are essential for the modern
acoustician.
