Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to include the latest developments in the field. The book's analysis of noise and vibration emphasizes wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. Primarily a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, the volume is also a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a fine text, comprehensive in content, with depth enough for post graduate students, consultants and researchers alike. Few texts deal with both noise and vibration in any detail; this one is accordingly welcome." C.W. Stammers, Machine Systems Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath
Book Description
In this second edition, Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to take into account the latest developments in the field. The book treats both noise and vibration in a single volume, with particular emphasis on wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. This is primarily a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, but will also be a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers.

Best of the Bunch,
By Blue Lake (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration Analysis for Engineers (Paperback)
I've collected a large number of books on noise and vibrations as I've had to learn this subject and then teach it to others, and as far as I'm concerned this is the best of the bunch. It is well organized with chapters on mechanical vibrations, sound waves, interaction of sound and vibration, measurement and control of noise, signal processing, statistical energy analysis and pipe flow noise. It starts from fundamental principles, but moves quickly to applications with an excellent balance between theory and practice. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about the interaction of sound and vibration, whether they're a student or a practicing professional.

First Sentence:
Noise and vibration are often treated separately in the study of dynamics, and it is sometimes forgotten that the two are inter-related - i.e. they simply relate to the transfer of molecular motional energy in different media (generally fluids and solids respectively).

higher order acoustic modes, dynamic bending strain, acoustic radiation damping, wavenumber coincidence, wall pressure field, propagating wave component, bearing vibration signal, joint acceptance function, internal loss factors, acoustic radiation load, normalised random error, pipe wall vibration, vibration control procedures, coupling loss factors, circumferential excitation, corresponding acoustic wavenumber, radiated noise energy, signal magnitude analysis, structural vibration levels, travelling wave concepts, spherical sound source, wall pressure fluctuations, structural loss factor, bending wave velocity, corresponding acoustic wavelength Key Phrases - Capitalized Phrases (CAPs): (learn more)
