Noise and Vibration Control Engineering: Principles and Applications, Second Edition is the updated revision of the classic reference containing the most important noise control design information in a single volume of manageable size. Book Detail: Author : Malcolm J. Two of the most acclaimed reference works in the area of acoustics in recent years have been our Encyclopedia of Acoustics, 4 Volume set and the Handbook of Acoustics spin—off.
These works, edited by Malcolm Crocker, positioned Wiley as a major player in the acoustics reference market. Noise and vibration control is one largest areas of application of the acoustics topics covered in the successful encyclopedia and handbook. It is also an area that has been under—published in recent years.
Crocker has positioned this reference to cover the gamut of topics while focusing more on the applications to industrial needs. In this way the book will become the best single source of need—to—know information for the professional markets.
Noise Control: From Concept to Application presents the basic principles of noise control and their practical application to real problems. Numerous examples are worked out in detail and are used to illustrate the concepts in the book. There are few derivations of equations, but reference is made to texts from which these are derived. An excellent learning tool for students and practitioners, this guide to noise control will enable readers to use their knowledge to solve a wide range of industrial noise control problems.
Working from basic scientific principles, the author shows how an understanding of sound can be applied to real-world settings. Book Detail: Author : David A. This classic and authoritative student textbook contains information that is not over simplified and can be used to solve the real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as the more straightforward ones handled by engineers and occupational hygienists in industry.
The book covers the fundamentals of acoustics, theoretical concepts and practical application of current noise control technology. It aims to be as comprehensive as possible while still covering important concepts in sufficient detail to engender a deep understanding of the foundations upon which noise control technology is built.
Topics which are extensively developed or overhauled from the fourth edition include sound propagation outdoors, amplitude modulation, hearing protection, frequency analysis, muffling devices including 4-pole analysis and self noise , sound transmission through partitions, finite element analysis, statistical energy analysis and transportation noise.
For those who are already well versed in the art and science of noise control, the book will provide an extremely useful reference.
A wide range of example problems that are linked to noise control practice are available on www. The practice of engineering noise control demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics, the practical application of current noise control technology and the underlying theoretical concepts. This fully revised and updated fourth edition provides a comprehensive explanation of these key areas clearly, yet without oversimplification.
Essential reading for advanced students or those already well versed in the art and science of noise control, this distinctive text can be used to solve real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as engineers and occupational hygienists. Book Detail: Author : Nicholas P.
Damage from noise exposure of sufficient intensity and duration is well established and hearing loss may be temporary or permanent.
Fortunately, noise exposure can be controlled and technology exists to reduce the hazards. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act OSHA every employer is legally responsible for providing a workplace free of hazards such as excessive noise.
It has been estimated that 14 million US workers are exposed to hazardous noise. This book is presented as an overview summary for employers, workers, and supervisors interested in workplace noise and its control.
We believe that in order to understand and control noise it is not necessary to be highly technical. Noise problems can quite often be solved by the people who are directly affected. Presented is an overview of noise, the regulations concerning its control, an explanation of specific principles, and a discussion of some particular techniques. This book is written more for the practitioner than the casual reader. Although a high mathematical level is not needed, for much of the material some engineering knowledge is desirable.
Noise control is not easy and there are no magic answers to problems. Careful study and patience are required to produce proficiency in the field of noise control. Excessive noise levels are generally acknowledged to have adverse effects on our environment. Studies indicate that excessive noise levels can cause fatigue in exposed individuals, lower efficiency and productivity, impaired speech communication, and hearing loss. Excessive noise is almost everywhere today - in the office, in schools, hospitals and other institutional facilities, in all classes of public buildings, and in our factories.
Foremen are often unable to hear warning shouts from co-workers. The problem of hearing loss due to excessive noise exposure is of particular concern to industry, and to the federal government. In the early s, the United States Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act OSHA which sets criteria for health hazards and established limits for noise exposure of industrial workers.
