Noise Control: From Concept to Application, Edition 2
About this ebook
It covers the essential topics for industrial noise control: acoustics, noise criteria, hearing-damage risk, noise-assessment measures, measurement instrumentation, sound-source types including the calculation and measurement of their output power, sound propagation outdoors, sound in rooms, sound-absorbing materials, sound transmission through partitions and enclosures, noise barriers, reactive and dissipative muffler-noise reduction and muffler-design considerations such as pressure loss and self-noise generation.
Detailed explanations of important concepts make this textbook easy to understand by engineering and science undergraduates, as well as professionals with no background in acoustics.
