Description
Summary:This book is the first of its kind. It provides the reader with a logical and highly quantitative means of including noise as a parameter in the early design stages of a machine or structure. The unique and unified methodology builds upon the familiar disciplines of acoustics, structural dynamics and optimization. It also exemplifies the art of simplification - the essence of all good engineering design. =. Strategies for designing quiet structures require extensive analytical and experimental tools. For computing the sound power from complex structures the authors recommend a new 3-D, lumped.
Item Description:Diskette in back pocket includes source code for the program POWER, a FORTRAN computer program written by John B. Fahnline to compute the power radiated from a vibrating structure, as well as listings of some simple example problems.
