Environmental Noise and Vibration Control in Engineering Design

Noise and vibration are commonly encountered by engineers working with rotating machinery and in manufacturing, civil engineering, aerospace, automotive engineering and architecture. Commonly the problems of noise and vibration have to be sorted out after the machine or construction is complete because they may not have been apparent in the design phase. In the book, Dr. Vinokur outlines the theoretical basis of noise and vibration control, and then illustrates his points with practical cases from industry. Dealing mainly with mechanical systems and then with sound insulation, the book also covers vibro-acoustic effects in microsystems and concludes with a set of examples from various industries.
