Abstract Largely based on material developed for special noise and vibration control courses, this book is intended for engineers who have no special training in acoustics. It assembles a wealth of practical and detailed advice on the fundamentals of sound, the mesurement and analysis of noise and vibration and the available methods of control. The volume is profusely illustrated and contains many solved problems. It is supplemented by useful data on units and conversion factors and an extensive table enabling conversions to be made between decibels and power and soud-pressure ratios and vice versa. There is a detailed alphabetical index.
