Description
This application-orientated collection of formulas has been written by applied scientists and industrial engineers for design professionals and students who work in engineering acoustics. It is subdivided into the most important fields of applied acoustics, each dealing with a well-defined type of problem. It provides easy and rapid access to profound and comprehensive information. In order to keep the text as concise as possible, the derivation of a formula is described as briefly as possible and the reader is referred to the original source. Besides the formulas, useful principles and computational procedures are given.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews: "This is a collection of formulas for applied scientists and industrial engineers working in the most important subfields of applied acoustics. It permits an easy and rapid access to searched results. . The book is very well written and excellently organized; the size of letters permits an easy reading. . On balance, this is an excellent reference tool, a real 'instrument de travail' in acoustics, whose edition will be welcome by the researchers in the field." (Dumitru Stanomir, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1060, 2005) "This collection of formulas has been written by applied scientists and industrial engineers for design professionals and students who work in engineering acoustics. . It provides easy and rapid access to profound and comprehensive information. . In addition to formulas, useful principles and computational procedures are given."
