3ed. , Springer, AIP Press, 2003, p. 298 This is the third edition of our book Fundamentals of Ocean Acoustics, revised and supplemented, including much new material responding to the progress in the theory of sound propagation and scattering in the ocean over the last 10 years. New topics are devoted mainly to such questions as the intrathermocline lenses and their effect on sound fields in the ocean, weakly divergent bundles of rays, ocean...

Springer, 2nd edition, 2006, 393 pages The book 'Acoustics of Wood' is devoted to those aspects related to the development of acoustic methods as an effective means for examining physical properties of wood through an interdisciplinary approach. The main parts of the book are: environmental acoustics, material characterization and quality assessment. In the first part of the book a discussion of the physical phenomena associated with the propag...

Издательство InTech, 2010, -478 pp. Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices are widely used in multitude of device concepts mainly in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and communication electronics. As such, SAW based micro-sensors, actuators and communication electronic devices are well known applications of SAW technology. Due to their solid state design and fabrication compatible with other modern technologies such as Microwave Integrated C...

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2008, 288 pages Sound is produced by vibrations and as such can be dampened or augmented based on materials selection. This title looks at the effects of sound and vibration on thin structures and details how damage may be avoided, acoustical effects created, and sound levels controlled. The aim of this monograph is to present the basic concepts and methods necessary for the study of vibro-acoustics phe...

Project Muse Computer music journal Victor Lazzarini, Joseph Timoney, and Thomas Lysaght "The Generation of Natural-Synthetic Spectra by Means of Adaptive Frequency Modulation"(22 pages) Frequency- modulation (FM) synthesis is widely known as a computationally ef?cient method for synthesizing musically interesting timbres. How- ever, it has suffered from neglect owing to the dif? culty in creating natural- sounding spectra and mapping gestur...

This book has been written to encourage a new generation of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to break the constraints of traditional disciplines and to apply the modem methods of acoustical physics to probe the mysterious sea. In order to assist the reader, we have included a large number of references that are of either historical or immediate importance. The inspired reader will keep up to date in applied ocean acoustics by referring to...

The subject of underwater acoustic modeling deals with the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical formulas solvable by computers. This book divides the subject of underwater acoustic modeling into three fundamental aspects: the physical principles used to formulate underwater acoustic models; the mathematical techniques used to translate these principles into computer models; and modeling applications in s...

The science of acoustics deals with the creation of sound, sound transmission through solids, and the effects of sound on both inert and living materials. As a mechanical effect, sound is essentially the passage of pressure fluctuations through matter as the result of vibrational forces acting on that medium. Sound possesses the attributes of wave phenomena, as do light and radio signals. But unlike its electromagnetic counterparts, sound cannot...

ACMC05 Generate and Test: Proceedings of the Australasian Computer Music Conference 2005 8 pages Abstract This paper discusses the design, function, and initial results of a set of four computer music tools. The tools are the first step in a series of attribute studies based on acoustic ecology and composition with natural sounds. The application of the tools enables abstraction, magnification, and transformation of specific attributes defining...
