Engineering acoustics, once a sub-field of physics, has long since developed into a scientific discipline in its own right. With its systematic arrangement the book is both an excellent tutor and reliable reference source. The international SI system of units is used throughout. Everyone concerned with engineering acoustics in their practical work will find the book useful, as will students, laboratory staff, engineers from all disciplines, and hearing aid technicians. From the content: Sound, sound field, sound generation, sound propagation Acoustic processes in closed rooms and acoustics cables Electromechanical analogies, electroacoustic transducers Acoustic measurement technology, physiological acoustics Sound recording, noise abatement, sound insulation Ultrasound, Building acoustics Sound absorber and silencer Updates and further information in the online service InfoClick
