Opis

This book introduces the history, principle, design methods, and recent progress in research of virtual sound barriers. Two virtual sound barrier systems, i.e., planar virtual sound barrier system and three-dimensional virtual sound barrier system, are discussed including applications, limitations, and future direction discussions.
