Acoustics: Sound Fields and Transducers
By- Leo L. Beranek, Multi award-winning and world-renowned acoustical consultant, author and former professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA
- Tim Mellow, Director, Mellow Acoustics Ltd., Farnham, UK, www.mellowacoustics.com
Updated throughout and focused on electroacoustics with the needs of a broad range of acoustics engineers and scientists in mind, this new book retains and expands on the detailed acoustical fundamentals included in the original whilst adding practical formulas and simulation methods for practising professionals.
Benefitting from Beraneks lifetime experience as a leader in the field and co-author Tim Mellows cutting-edge industry experience, Acoustics: Sound Fields and Transducers is a modern classic to keep close to hand in the lab, office and design studio.
Audience
Research scientists and engineers working in acoustics; Mechanical, electrical, audio and architectural engineers; Physicists; Acoustical consultants.
