Synopsis

Noise and Vibration Analysis is a complete and practical guide that combines both signal processing and modal analysis theory with their practical application in noise and vibration analysis. It provides an invaluable, integrated guide for practicing engineers as well as a suitable introduction for students new to the topic of noise and vibration. Taking a practical learning approach, Brandt includes exercises that allow the content to be developed in an academic course framework or as supplementary material for private and further study. * Addresses the theory and application of signal analysis procedures as they are applied in modern instruments and software for noise and vibration analysis * Features numerous line diagrams and illustrations * Accompanied by a web site at www.wiley.com/go/brandt with numerous MATLAB tools and examples. Noise and Vibration Analysis provides an excellent resource for researchers and engineers from automotive, aerospace, mechanical, or electronics industries who work with experimental or analytical vibration analysis and/or acoustics. It will also appeal to graduate students enrolled in vibration analysis, experimental structural dynamics, or applied signal analysis courses.

About this title

Review:

"Here he presents the material in a form that can serve as a textbook or supplement for a graduate or undergraduate course or as a handbook for engineers or researchers who measure and analyze acoustic or vibration signals." (Booknews, 1 June 2011

From the Author:

I wrote this book as I have felt there was no book for myself to use as a reference in my teaching in both industry and universities. I have over 20 years experience of consulting and teaching short-courses in industry, so I hope the book reflects the needs there. The book should be of interest for anyone making measurements or analysis of acoustic and/or vibration signals.

To make the book easy to use for self-reading, the ABRAVIBE toolbox I have developed as a free, open-source MATLAB/Octave toolbox is a vital tool. It comes with numerous examples from the book on the use of the toolbox. It is as handy for university studies, of course. It is available from the companion site wiley.com/go/brandt.

To make it easier to teach a course based on the book, for university teachers there are also PowerPoint files available with all figures from the book, so that you can easily make presentations for your lectures.
