Since structure-borne sound plays an important role in noise control, material testing and machine diagnosis, the relevant properties of the most important elements of a construction (plates, beams and shells) are investigated. Measurement techniques, equations of motion, formulas for wave speeds, resonance frequencies, impedances, transmission coefficients etc. are given. The different damping mechanisms and the radiation properties are treated. The statistical energy analysis (SEA) is also presented. This new edition has been enlarged to include also waves on orthotropic plates, and the vibration and radiation of cylindrical shells.

Editorial Reviews
Review
A&V WWWVL Review: If your activities involve analytical computations for structureborne sound, then this book will become a much loved companion. It will be dog-eared and filled with 3M Post-it tabs in no time. As with many of these specialized books, the price is dear, but just think of how long it would take you to derive all the theory on your own!

This review is from: Structure-Borne Sound: Structural Vibrations and Sound Radiation at Audio Frequencies (Hardcover)
This classic text book on Structure-Borne sound transmission is a must-have for anyone in the field of noise & vibration. The book is relatively easily to follow. It is full of very useful and practical information. It is highly recommended as a reference for graduate students and practicing engineers.

This review is from: Structure-Borne Sound: Structural Vibrations and Sound Radiation at Audio Frequencies (Hardcover)
This very comprehensive book is well explained and detailed, from the basic sound propagation formulae to control room treatment. It is also useful in our acoustic consulting activities and technical suport for solutions, as "rain on the roof noise" and "foot-fall noise" at residential and business buildings

Vibrations from wave mechanics point of view,
By
This review is from: Structure-borne sound; structural vibrations and sound radiation at audio frequencies (Hardcover)
This is the best book for understanding the vibrations of structures from the wave propagation point of view. The authors are leaders in this field of research for 40 years. The book is easily accessable to an engineer with a minumum background in this field(an undergraduate course in vibrations & an introductory course on acoustics). There is no other book available in this field. Just buy it if you are working in the field of vibrations/structural acoustics.
