Gain a Unique and Comprehensive Understanding of Ultrasonics
Despite its importance, most books on ultrasonics cover only very specific sub-fields of the science. They generally also take a more mathematical approach and lack the wider scope needed to truly improve understanding and facilitate practical use of ultrasonics across a wide range of disciplines.

Create Efficient Systems for Any Environment
Ultrasonics Data covers the science, technology, and application of ultrasonics. It discusses everything from sensors to systems,...

Whether you have a ton of equipment or just the basic gear, this book offers details on all you need to know about getting great sound from a project studio. In three parts, Harris walks you through acoustics, equipment, and recording techniques. Including the basics of acoustic treatment and techniques to solve problems specific to your room, Home Studio Setup offers explanations and information on equipment, how to record, and how to create a great mix. In no time, this valuable resource will have you recording and producing great music in your very own studio.

This monograph develops the theory of noise mechanisms and measurements, and describes general noise characteristics and computational methods. The vast ambient noise literature is concisely summarized using theory combined with key representative results.

The air sea boundary interaction zone is described in terms of nondimensional variables requisite for future experiments. Noise field coherency, rare directional measurements, and unique basin scale computations and methods are presented. The use of satellite measurements in these basin scale models is demonstrated. A series of...

"Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age" critically analyzes a range of sounds on vocal and musical recordings, on the radio, in film, and in cartoons to show how sounds are used to persuade in subtle ways. Greg Goodale explains how and to what effect sounds can be "read" like an aural text, demonstrating this method by examining important audio cues such as dialect, pausing, and accent in presidential recordings at the turn of the twentieth century. Goodale also shows how clocks, locomotives, and machinery are utilized in film and literature to represent frustration and...

Praktische Probleme der Maschinenakustik sind komplex. Aus diesem Grund wird im vorliegenden Buch vorrangig die indirekte Kette der Schallabstrahlung behandelt. Es werden Berechnungsgleichungen, akustische Messverfahren und konstruktive Massnahmen zur Reduzierung der indirekten Abstrahlung von Gerauschen vorgestellt. Ausgehend von den im Inneren einer Maschine wirkenden dynamischen Kraften werden die Anregung von Korperschall und dessen Abstrahlung von der Oberflache der Maschine behandelt.

Engineering the Guitar: Theory and Practice uniquely describes the mechanics of the guitar for engineers and craftsmen alike. Complete with informative illustrations, this popular musical volume describes the underlying mechanical concepts behind the guitar, supported by theory and test. A detailed description of guitar electronics paired with an analysis of sound quality appeals to scientific audiences as well as musicians technically apt. Readers will gain an understanding of the technical behavior of the instrument with respect to structural and component dynamics, in addition to the...
