Acoustics of fluid-structure interactions / M.S. Howe. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1998. - 1 online resource (x, 560 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Cambridge monographs on mechanics . - Cambridge monographs on mechanics. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions addresses an increasingly important branch of fluid mechanics - the absorption of noise and vibration by fluid flow. This subject, which offers numerous challenges to conventional areas of acoustics, is of growing concern in places where the environment is adversely affected by sound. Howe presents useful background material on fluid mechanics and the elementary concepts of classical acoustics and structural vibrations. Using examples, many of which include complete worked solutions, he vividly illustrates the theoretical concepts involved. He provides the basis for all calculations necessary for the determination of sound generation by aircraft, ships, general ventilation and combustion systems, as well as musical instruments. Both a graduate textbook and a reference for researchers, Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions is an important synthesis of information in this field. It will also aid engineers in the theory and practice of noise control.
