ISBN: 0471395994 ISBN-13: 9780471395997 Publisher: Wiley OUR PRICE: $234.60 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2007 Annotation: Clearly written by worldwide experts, the Handbook of Noise and Vibration Control, provides, for the first time, a comprehensive single-volume reference on a broad spectrum of noise, shock, and vibration topics. For the book, Dr. Malcolm Crocker recruited leading practitioners and researchers to contribute their expertise on a multitude of topics including: Fundamentals of acoustics, noise, shock, and vibration theory and practice Physiological and psychological effects of noise, shock, and vibration on people Instrumentation, analysis, and measurement of noise and vibration Passive and active methods to reduce noise and vibration sources and paths Psychoacoustics and product sound quality Machinery noise and vibration sources, prediction, and control Interior vehicle, aircraft, and ship noise and vibration sources and control Control of noise, shock, and vibration in buildings The Handbook's logical organization coupled with its detailed index makes it easy to jump to any topic quickly and get all the facts and practical guidance needed. Chapter introductions and references provide a gateway to the literature while figures and illustrations help the reader to visualize complex processes and procedures. An expert snapshot of the broad field of noise and vibration--the science, latest research findings and practical applications, best practices, and future directions--the Handbook of Noise and Vibration Control is an invaluable resource for acoustical consultants, practicing engineers, researchers, architects, and designers in tackling some of their toughest problems. |

| Publisher Description: Two of the most acclaimed reference works in the area of acoustics in recent years have been our Encyclopedia of Acoustics, 4 Volume set and the Handbook of Acoustics spin-off. These works, edited by Malcolm Crocker, positioned Wiley as a major player in the acoustics reference market. With our recently published revision of Beranek & Ver's Noise and Vibration Control Engineering, Wiley is a highly respected name in the acoustics business. Crocker's new handbook covers an area of great importance to engineers and designers. Noise and vibration control is one largest areas of application of the acoustics topics covered in the successful encyclopedia and handbook. It is also an area that has been under-published in recent years. Crocker has positioned this reference to cover the gamut of topics while focusing more on the applications to industrial needs. In this way the book will become the best single source of need-to-know information for the professional markets. |
