Description
The book is devoted to the very basis of acoustics and vibro-acoustics. The physics of the phenomena, the analytical methods and the modern
numerical techniques are presented in a concise form. Many examples illustrate the fundamental problems and predictions (analytic or
numerical) and are often compared to experiments. Some emphasis is put on the mathematical tools required by rigorous theory and reliable
prediction methods.
Audience
Graduate students and researchers in engineering and physics (acoustics, noise, and vibrations) and practitioners in the automotive and mechanical industry.
