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 Understanding Acoustics written by Steven L. Garrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a unified approach to acoustics and vibration suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate courses on vibration and fluids. The book includes thorough treatment of vibration of harmonic oscillators, coupled oscillators, isotropic elasticity, and waves in solids including the use of resonance techniques for determination of elastic moduli. Drawing on 35 years of experience teaching introductory graduate acoustics at the Naval Postgraduate School and Penn State, the author presents a hydrodynamic approach to the acoustics of sound in fluids that provides a uniform methodology for analysis of lumped-element systems and wave propagation that can incorporate attenuation mechanisms and complex media. This view provides a consistent and reliable approach that can be extended with confidence to more complex fluids and future applications. Understanding Acoustics opens with a mathematical introduction that includes graphing and statistical uncertainty, followed by five chapters on vibration and elastic waves that provide important results and highlight modern applications while introducing analytical techniques that are revisited in the study of waves in fluids covered in Part II. A unified approach to waves in fluids (i.e., liquids and gases) is based on a mastery of the hydrodynamic equations. Part III demonstrates extensions of this view to nonlinear acoustics. Engaging and practical, this book is a must-read for graduate students in acoustics and vibration as well as active researchers interested in a novel approach to the material.
Download or read book Applications of ATILA FEM software to smart materials written by J.-C. Debus and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this chapter, a coupled electromechanical thermal analysis is presented. For a steady-state solution, the thermal behaviour is weakly coupled to the electromechanical response. A simple model, a tonpilz, a doubled-ended and a flextensional transducer serve as validation of the numerical model compared to the analytical models. The transient thermal analysis is developed and the temperature and dissipated power distribution are obtained at each step. The validation concerns piezoelectric ring transducers driven at high power levels under continuous sine-wave drive. The aim of the second section of this chapter is to present heat generation in a magnetostrictive transducer. The development of heat generation is defined with two validations. The first example consists of a cylinder in vacuum, the second example shows the temperature behaviour of a Janus transducer; the results are compared with an analytical model and measurements.
