Noise and Vibration Control Engineering: Principles and Applications

Noise and Vibration Control Engineering: Principles and Applications, Second Edition is the updated revision of the classic reference containing the most important noise control design information in a single volume of manageable size. Specific content updates include completely revised material on noise and vibration standards, updated information on active noise/vibration control, and the applications of these topics to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning.

Provides design engineers with specific technical information needed for solutions to the most frequently encountered noise and vibration problems, conveying physical insights into the processes of noise generation and attenuation so that a chosen solution is not only acoustically sufficient but also cost effective. The volume draws somewhat on the 1971 Noise and vibration control, edited by one of the present authors, but entirely new are chapters on the control of noise by active devices, and the quieting of internal combustion engines, electrical machinery, and gears.
