Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Third Edition of Acoustics of Wood offers a comprehensive overview of advanced acoustical techniques for wood characterization and assessment. It stands as an authoritative guide on using ultrasound and acoustic emissions to assess and characterize wood's physical and mechanical properties.Divided into six parts, this extended and updated edition covers a broad spectrum of topics including ultrasonic wave propagation, nondestructive testing methods for wood characterization, and the innovative use of acoustics in quality assessment of wood products. It also explores the acoustic properties vital for musical instruments and the application of acoustics in preserving historically significant art objects and timber structures. With chapters on cutting-edge topics like artificial intelligence's role in wood acoustics, readers are invited to explore the intersection of tradition and technology.Targeted at professionals and researchers in materials science, engineering, and conservation, this edition is invaluable for those seeking to deepen their knowledge of wood's acoustic properties. Readers with a background in physics or engineering will find the discussions on ultrasonic techniques and acoustic emissions particularly enlightening. By bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications, this book not only enriches scientific understanding but also opens up new avenues for innovation in wood assessment and preservation.

Professor Dr. eng. Voichita Bucur, currently adjunct professor at School of Science, RMIT University Melbourne, Australia, received her bachelor in Engineering in 1962 from Polytechnic Institute Brasov, Romania, and her PhD in Mechanics-Ultrasonics in 1984 from the Institut Supérieur des Materiaux, St Ouen, Paris, today known as Institut Supérieur de Mécanique de Paris, France.
Her fields of research encompass development of non-destructive techniques (vibrational, acoustic, ultrasonic, X- rays) for the assessment of the quality of trees, wood products and wood-based composites, mechanical characterisation of materials with non-destructive techniques, wood science and technology, and mechanical characterisation of wood for musical instruments. She wrote and edited books (7) published by Springer since 2003 and published more than 150 articles in scientific journals.
In 2004 she was awarded with silver medal by Société d’ Encouragement du Progrès, France, for contributions to mechanics, acoustics, wood science, education and service to the society. In 2007 she had the distinguish award at 15th International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Wood, Duluth, Minnesota, USA, for contribution to the development of nondestructive techniques for wood and wood-based composites. In 2021 she had the prestigious RWB Stephens Medal awarded by the Institute of Acoustics UK for outstanding contributions to acoustics research or education.

General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
