This book is a history of acoustics from the 19th century to the present, written by one of the preeminent members of the acoustical community. The book is both a review of the major scientific advan
Acoustical engineers, researchers, architects, and designers need a comprehensive, single-volume reference that provides quick and convenient access to important information, answers and questions on
A hundred papers cover acoustic microscopy, biomedicine, bone and cartilage, cardiology, components and systems, Doppler, mathematics and physics, non-destructive evaluation, oceanography, and tomogra
This book demonstrates the role and abilities of fluctuation in semiconductor physics, and shows what kinds of physical information are involved in the noise characteristics of semiconductor materials
One of the first interdisciplinary discussions of taphonomy (the study of how fossil assemblages are formed) and paleoecology (the reconstruction of ancient ecosystems), this volume helped establish
This volume, available for the first time in paperback, is a standard work on the physical aspects of acoustics. Starting from first principles, the authors have successfully produced a unified and th
This excellent study, long a standard reference in the field, provides a clear, systematically organized introductory review of fundamental aspects of the subject for both advanced graduate students a
Volume One covers harmonic vibrations, systems with one degree of freedom, vibrating systems in general, transverse vibrations of strings, longitudinal and torsional vibrations of bars, vibrations of
The Nobel Laureate's classic sums up all research in the field prior to 1877, then presents Rayleigh's own original contributions. Volume Two covers aerial vibrations, vibrations in tubes, reflection
