Structure-Borne Sound" is a thorough introduction to structural vibrations with emphasis on audio frequencies and the associated radiation of sound. The book presents in-depth discussions of fundamental principles and basic problems, in order to enable the reader to understand and solve his own problems. It includes chapters dealing with measurement and generation of vibrations and sound, various types of structural wave motion, structural damping and its effects, impedances and vibration responses of the important types of structures, as well as with attenuation of vibrations, and sound radiation from structures. For the third edition, the author fundamentally revised and newly organized the contents of the work. Nevertheless, the intention has been to preserve the style of the previous editions, namely to focus on the fundamentals enabling the reader to analyse further problems.
"Can science be funny?" takes a close look at an element of modern science communication that is as innovative as it is promising for the future: comedy! Readers are guided through vividly presented academic theory as well as exciting hands-on and best practice examples from renowned practitioners and cabaret artists: - What do sheep's cheese and car tires have in common? - Can laughter break down walls? - How does "Die Anstalt" work? - How does magic create knowledge? - Is there humor in museums? - When a Dalmatian comes to the cash register - Three steps to humor - Serving suggestion for the Holy Spirit - dictatorship of stupidity - And much more! But it's not all just funny. Comedy can also take away some of the biting sharpness of criticism, making it digestible, even palatable, for the addressees. "Can Science Be Funny?" navigates between criticism and cabaret, tackling comedy in various guises from different perspectives. 22 contributions show how the results of science, research and technology can be brought to the general public in new ways. In particular, they also demonstrate how humour can be used as a critical and questioning force - valuable for all types of communication and helpful so that they come across more shrewdly in the future.

Vor mehr als 15 Jahren hatte der erstgenannte Verfasser, L. CRE- MER, durch Vermittlung von Professor Dr. E. MEYER Gelegenheit, im Auftrage des Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Lon- don, eine "Propagation of structure-borne sound" betitelte Mono- graphie [Sponsored Research (Germany) No. 1 (Series B)] uber die Berechnung von Koerperschallausbreitung in Fahrzeugen und Ge- bauden zu schreiben. Da diese nur in 60 Exemplaren vervielfaltigte Monographie schnell vergriffen war und oft photokopiert wurde, entstand schon bald nach Erscheinen der Plan, sie - zunachst in deutscher Sprache - einem groesseren Kreise zuganglich zu machen. Der Verfasser musste sich dann dem Aufbau eines Lehrstuhls mit In- stitut und anderen Aufgaben zuwenden, so dass er den Plan erst in den letzten Jahren wieder aufnehmen konnte. Da jedoch mittlerweile eine lange Zeit vergangen war, erschien es ratsam, das vorhandene Material betrachtlich zu erweitern und insbesondere Fragen der Mess- technik und der Anwendung auf neuere Aufgaben der Larmbekamp- fung miteinzubeziehen. Er trat daher an den, ehemaligen Oberingenieur seines Institutes, Dr. M. HECKL, mit der Bitte heran, sich mit ihm in die zu leistende Arbeit zu teilen. d. h. konkret in die Kapitel uber I. Wandler, n. Wellenarten, In. Dampfung, IV. Impedanzen, V. Dammung, und VI. Abstrahlung.
