Publisher's Synopsis
Noise and vibration affect engineering structures of all kinds. This textbook provides students with a unified treatment of engineering noise and vibration analysis and control. The main feature of the book is the bringing together of vibration and noise within a single volume rather than treating each topic in isolation. Particular emphasis is placed on the wave-mode duality and the interactions between sound waves and solid structures. The book is primarily intended as a textbook for undergraduates in the final year of an engineering course. Postgraduates and professionals will also find that it is a useful overview of the field. There are specific case studies, test cases, and examples for students to work through.
