Download or read book Acoustics of Fluid Media 1 written by Daniel Juvé and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-11-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustics of Fluid Media 1 is intended for undergraduate students and engineering students, as well as graduate students and professionals in the industry who are increasingly faced with the need to consider acoustic constraints in the design of new products. The physical principles and theoretical foundations of acoustics in fluids are first developed, including reflection and refraction of plane and spherical waves. The book then introduces notions of signal processing applied to sound waves, followed by radiation from surface or volume acoustic sources and the use of Green’s functions, as well as the description of diffraction and scattering phenomena. The final chapters are devoted to sound propagation in ducts and room acoustics. Each chapter is accompanied by a limited number of exercises, ranging from the simple application of formulas to problems requiring a more advanced theoretical analysis or a numerical solution. Throughout the book, the theoretical results are illustrated with numerous figures obtained from measurements or numerical simulations resulting from the evaluation of complex formulas or from the use of a finite element solver.

Download or read book Theory of Nonlinear Acoustics in Fluids written by B.O. Enflo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the present book is to present theoretical nonlinear aco- tics with equal stress on physical and mathematical foundations. We have attempted explicit and detailed accounting for the physical p- nomena treated in the book, as well as their modelling, and the f- mulation and solution of the mathematical models. The nonlinear acoustic phenomena described in the book are chosen to give phy- cally interesting illustrations of the mathematical theory. As active researchers in the mathematical theory of nonlinear acoustics we have found that there is a need for a coherent account of this theory from a unified point of view, covering both the phenomena studied and mathematical techniques developed in the last few decades. The most ambitious existing book on the subject of theoretical nonlinear acoustics is ”Theoretical Foundations of Nonlinear Aco- tics” by O. V. Rudenko and S. I. Soluyan (Plenum, New York, 1977). This book contains a variety of applications mainly described by Bu- ers’ equation or its generalizations. Still adhering to the subject - scribed in the title of the book of Rudenko and Soluyan, we attempt to include applications and techniques developed after the appearance of, or not included in, this book. Examples of such applications are resonators, shockwaves from supersonic projectiles and travelling of multifrequency waves. Examples of such techniques are derivation of exact solutions of Burgers’ equation, travelling wave solutions of Bu- ers’ equation in non-planar geometries and analytical techniques for the nonlinear acoustic beam (KZK) equation.
Download or read book Physical Foundations of Technical Acoustics written by I. Malecki and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical Foundations of Technical Acoustics discusses theoretical foundations of acoustical engineering. It is not so much a technical compendium as a systematic statement of physical laws so conceived that technologists might find in it all the information they need to become acquainted with the physical meaning and mathematical expression of phenomena they encounter in their work. To facilitate the acquirement of notions, which lie beyond a layman's grasp, the plan of narration adopted consists in beginning with the simplest idealized cases and then gradually moving on to the truest possible picture of real phenomena. Thus, the first part of the book, dealing with the acoustic field, begins with lossless fluid media, and passes then through perfectly elastic solid media to the real ones, showing losses and relaxations. In the second part, discussing the acoustical systems, the reader is led up from the simplest vibrating system with one degree of freedom to inhomogeneous spatial systems. Classical problems of theoretical acoustics are linked to the questions which appeared still to be the subjects of research. A special chapter has been written to deal with nonlinear acoustics, in consideration of continually growing applications of the acoustic fields of high intensity.

Download or read book Vibro Acoustics written by Dhanesh N. Manik and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of vibro-acoustics is important for the design of machine elements and structures, to minimize sound generated by them. For better machine designing, it is necessary for machine designers (mechanical engineers) to have a thorough knowledge of vibro-acoustics. Furthermore, since the design cycles of machines have become shorter, designers will have to design quiet machines at the drawing-board stage rather than applying "band-aid" techniques after the machine has been built. Although there is common ground in the treatment of acoustics, the subject of vibration is not very fortunate. Those interested in low-frequency vibration are generally concerned with the modal approach of using natural frequencies and mode shapes, whereas those interested in vibro-acoustics in medium and high frequencies are generally concerned with the wave approach. Since both modal and wave approaches have their advantages, it is a good idea to study both together to get the best out of them. This is useful for a better understanding the physics of vibro-acoustics. Written for students and professionals interested in gaining knowledge, this book systematically integrates the relevant aspects of vibro-acoustics from various viewpoints.

Download or read book Understanding Ocean Acoustics written by Jens M. Hovem and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater acoustics is important in all underwater sonar systems for object detection, classification, surveillance and for communications links for military and civilian purposes. Sound is also a major tool for studying the ocean environment and the interaction of sound and marine life in general. Understanding Ocean Acoustics emphasises such applications and issues relevant to studies of the ocean environment and aquatic life. Its focus is therefore environmental research and development using low frequencies relevant to fish and sea mammals. For such frequencies, the geoacoustic properties of the bottom cannot be ignored, which requires knowledge about waves in solids, which is missing in most books on underwater acoustics.
Download or read book Propagation of Sound in Porous Media written by J.F. Allard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has grown out of the research activities of the author in the fields of sound propagation in porous media and modelling of acoustic materials. It is assumed that the reader has a background of advanced calculus, including an introduction to differential equations, complex variables and matrix algebra. A prior exposure to theory of elasticity would be advantageous. Chapters 1-3 deal with sound propagation of plane waves in solids and fluids, and the topics of acoustic impedance and reflection coefficient are given a large emphasis. The topic of flow resistivity is presented in Chapter 2. Chapter 4 deals with sound propagation in porous materials having cylindrical pores. The topics of effective density, and of tortuosity, are presented. The thermal exchanges between the frame and the fluid, and the behaviour of the bulk modulus of the fluid, are described in this simple context. Chapter 5 is concerned with sound propagation in other porous materials, and the recent notions of characteristic dimensions, which describe thermal exchanges and the viscous forces at high frequencies, are introduced. In Chapter 6, the case of porous media having an elastic frame is considered in the context of Biot theory, where new topics described in Chapter 5 have been included.
