Understanding Acoustics
«“The author achieves his stated goal in helping researchers know when their computer simulations might contain errors by using test cases with numerous examples. … well suited for teaching acoustics at the undergraduate and graduate level and is an excellent reference for those interested in the physical aspects of acoustics in strings, membranes, and bars. As such it is a good reference for those interested in speakers and audio technology, musical acoustics, physical acoustics, and a wide range of applications.” (James M. Gelb, Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol. 69 (5), 2021)»
This open access textbook, like Rayleigh's classic Theory of Sound, focuses on experiments and on approximation techniques rather than mathematical rigor. The second edition has benefited from comments and corrections provided by many acousticians, in particular those who have used the first edition in undergraduate and graduate courses. Les mer
Provides graduate-level treatment of acoustics and vibration suitable for use in courses, for self-study, and as a reference
Highlights fundamental physical principles that can provide independent tests of the validity of numerical solutions, commercial software, and computer simulations
Demonstrates approximation techniques that greatly simplify the mathematics without a substantial decrease in accuracy
Incorporates a hydrodynamic approach to the acoustics of sound in fluids that provides a uniform methodology for analysis of lumped-element systems and wave propagation
Emphasizes actual applications as examples of topics explained in the text
Includes realistic end-of-chapter problems, some including experimental data, as well as a Solutions Manual for instructors.
Features "Talk Like an Acoustician" boxes to highlight key terms introduced in the text.
