For senior undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Industrial Noise Acoustics.
Focusing on the systems and engineering aspects of acoustics, this text emphasizes the importance of speech and hearing in our lives. Finch emphasizes real-world applications while combining principles from both electrical and mechanical engineering, along with instrumentation and basic measurement techniques. From vibrations and linear systems to noise control and acoustic systems, the text encompasses both simple and complex real world applications.
Features + Benefits
Systems Theory-Organized from simple to complex, enabling students to apply concepts and explore issues more intensively.
Mathematical Treatment-Offers detailed illustrations and explanations, thus reinforcing the importance of having a solid mathematical grasp of each topic.
Problems-Examines key concepts of real life situations, applying theories and enhancing knowledge.
Emphasis on the Unity of Knowledge-Features examples in music, speech, hearing, architecture, and other recent developments in order to attract a wide range of students.
Flexible presentation-Although the book is aimed towards senior- to graduate-level engineering students, it is also a handy reference for practicing engineers.
