Fundamentals of Acoustic Waves and Applications

More about the book

The book offers an in-depth exploration of acoustic waves across five chapters, starting with their general properties. It delves into wave behavior in fluids and solids, highlighting the complexities of sound propagation in different media. The analysis of audible waves in air covers speech and music in both time and frequency domains. Additionally, it examines sound wave modes in solids and their implications for engineering applications. The final chapters focus on acoustic signal transduction, detailing transmitters and sensors, and introduce various engineering techniques involving acoustic and optical methods.
