Description
Intended a both a textbook and a reference, Fourier Acoustics develops the theory of sound radiation uniquely from the viewpoint of Fourier
Analysis. This powerful perspective of sound radiation provides the reader with a comprehensive and practical understanding which will
enable him or her to diagnose and solve sound and vibration problems in the 21st Century. As a result of this perspective, Fourier Acoustics
is able to present thoroughly and simply, for the first time in book form, the theory of nearfield acoustical holography, an important
technique which has revolutionised the measurement of sound. Relying little on material outside the book, Fourier Acoustics will be
invaluable as a graduate level text as well as a reference for researchers in academia and industry.
Audience:
Relying little on material outside the book, Fourier Acoustics will be invaluable as a graduate level text as well as
a reference for researchers in academia and industry. The book is unique amongst acoustics texts, it is well illustrated and it includes
exercises to enforce the theory.
