Handbook of Engineering Acoustics

This translation of the standard German handbook offers practical help for solving acoustic problems. Coverage includes the origin, transmission and methods of abatement of air-borne and structure-borne sound, from traffic to machinery and flow induced sound.

The only real acoustics handbook for mechanical and architectural applications, this is a translation of the German standard work on the subject, written by an academic and an industrial practitioner. The book not only describes the state of art of engineering acoustics but also gives practical help to engineers for solving acoustic problems. It deals with the origin, the transmission and the methods of abatement of air-borne and structure-borne sound of different kinds from traffic to machinery and flow induced sound.

The only real acoustics handbook for mechanical and architectural applications Application-oriented information on a sound scientific basis Written by an academician and an industrial practitioner Translation of the German standard book Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
