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.

About this title

Review

"The book is thoroughly enjoyable, well written, economic, and beautifully printed in the traditional style of the Cambridge University Press. It makes a valuable addition to the libraries of students and practicing specialists alike." Guillermo C. Gaunaurd, Applied Mechanics Review

Book Description

This extensively updated edition of Norton's classic text treats both noise and vibration in a single volume, with particular emphasis on wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures.
