This book is written for those who want to learn the state-of-the-art technology on visualizing acoustic radiation from vibrating objects, to understand difficulties involved in these inverse acoustic problems, and to acquire the information necessary to conduct successful vibro-acoustic diagnostics on their own. Attention is focused on the new development on nearfield acoustical holography (NAH) beyond the traditional Fourier acoustics that are suitable for separable geometries only. Specifically, it presents:

-Helmholtz equation least squares (HELS) method

-inverse...

The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition provides supportive tools and exercises to help you understand how music sounds and behaves in different spaces, whether during a performance or a recording, when planning a control room or listening space, and how it is perceived by performers, listeners, and recording engineers.

With their clear and simple style, Howard and Angus cover both theory and practice by addressing the science of sound engineering and music production,...

• Gives precise guidelines on how to design the acoustics in venues that present amplified music

This book reviews a variety of methods for wave-based acoustic simulation and recent applications to architectural and environmental acoustic problems.

Following an introduction providing an overview of computational simulation of sound environment, the book is in two parts: four chapters on methods and four chapters on applications. The first part explains the fundamentals and advanced techniques for three popular methods, namely, the finite-difference time-domain method, the finite element method, and the boundary element method, as well as alternative time-domain methods. The...

By exploring the many different types and forms of contemporary musical instruments, this book contributes to a better understanding of the conditions of instrumentality in the 21st century. Providing insights from science, humanities and the arts, authors from a wide range of disciplines discuss the following questions:

. What are the conditions under which an object is recognized as a musical instrument?

. What kind of (mental and physical) knowledge do we access in order to recognize...

This book focuses on opera house acoustics based on subjective preference theory; it targets researchers in acoustics and vision who are working in physics, psychology and brain physiology. This book helps readers to understand any subjective attributes in relation to objective parameters based on the powerful and workable model of the auditory system.

It is reconfirmed here that the well-known Helmholtz theory, which was based on a peripheral model of the auditory system, may not well describe pitch, timbre and duration as well as the spatial sensations described in this book, nor...
