Noise has various effects on comfort, performance, and human health. For this reason, noise control plays an increasingly central role in the development of modern industrial and engineering applications. Nowadays, the noise control problem excites and attracts the attention of a great number of scientists in different disciplines. Indeed, noise control has a wide variety of applications in manufacturing, industrial operations, and consumer products. The main purpose of this book, organized in 13 chapters, is to present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in noise control and its applications in different research fields. The authors provide a range of practical applications of current and past noise control strategies in different real engineering problems. It is well addressed to researchers and engineers who have specific knowledge in acoustic problems. I would like to thank all the authors who accepted my invitation and agreed to share their work and experiences.

Noise is a widely recognized problem and health concern in the modern world. Given the importance of managing noise levels and developing suitable 'soundscapes' in contexts such as industry, schools, or public spaces, this is an area of active research for acousticians. But noise, in the sense of dissonance, can also be used positively; composers have employed it from Baroque music to Rock feedback; medicine harnesses it to shatter kidney stones and treat cancer; and even themilitary uses it in (real and rumoured) weapons.Mike Goldsmith looks back at the long history of the battle between peop

"Acoustical Imaging starts with an introduction to the basic theories and principles of acoustics and acoustical imaging, then progresses to discuss its varied applications: nondestructive testing, medical imaging, underwater imaging and SONAR and geophysical exploration. The author draws together the different technologies, highlighting the similarities between topic areas and their common underlying theory. Some advanced topics are also described such as nonlinear acoustical imaging and its application in nondestructive testing, application of chaos theory to acoustical imaging, statistical treatment of acoustical imaging and negative refraction"--Provided by publisher. "Introduces the basic theories and principles of acoustics and acoustical imaging"--Provided by publisher.

Dieses schon klassische Werk ist in Stoffauswahl und Aufbau einzigartig und bewährt, seine Themenauswahl widmet sich der Ingenieurausbildung. Im Fokus stehen die wichtigsten Maßnahmen zur Beruhigung der akustischen Umwelt. Alle Kapitel stellen direkt und indirekt die Frage, wie die Lautstärke in den praktisch wichtigsten akustischen Umgebungen (in Gebäuden und im Freien) verringert werden kann. Den so genannten Maßnahmenkapiteln werden die Medienkapitel vorangestellt, die das erforderliche Grundlagenwissen über die Natur von Schall und Schwingungen vermitteln. In der Neuauflage wird vor allem der Darstellung der Wellenausbreitung sowie der Beschreibung von Schallschutzwänden besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Aktualisierte Verweise auf schalltechnische Normen sowie kurze Zusammenfassungen und Übungsaufgaben am Ende jedes Kapitels machen das Buch zu einem wertvollen Nachschlagewerk.

This book treats the topic of sound field synthesis with a focus on serving human listeners though the approach can be also exploited in other areas such as underwater acoustics or ultrasonics. The author derives a fundamental formulation based on standard integral equations and the single-layer potential approach is identified as a useful tool in order to derive a general solution. He also proposes extensions to the single-layer potential approach which allow for a derivation of solutions for non-enclosing distributions of secondary sources such as circular, planar, and linear ones. Based on above described formulation it is shown that the two established analytic approaches of Wave Field Synthesis and Near-field Compensated Higher Order Ambisonics constitute specific solutions to the general problem which are covered by the single-layer potential solution and its extensions. The consequences spatial discretization are analyzed in detail for all elementary geometries of secondary source distributions and applications such as the synthesis of the sound field of moving virtual sound sources, focused virtual sound sources, and virtual sound sources with complex radiation properties are discussed. An accompanying website provides MATLAB/Octave scripts for all simulations contained in the book.
