Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey from a qualitative introduction to the physical
nature of sound, explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and analytical results which underlie
the techniques applied by the engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their products. The book
is distinguished by extensive descriptions and explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their relevance
to engineering, supported by a wealth of diagrams, and by a guide for teachers of tried and tested class demonstrations
and laboratory-based experiments.
Foundations of Engineering Acoustics is a textbook suitable for both senior undergraduate and postgraduate courses
in mechanical, aerospace, marine, and possibly electrical and civil engineering schools at universities. It will
be a valuable reference for academic teachers and researchers and will also assist Industrial Acoustic Group staff
and Consultants.
