Structural Acoustics
Deterministic and Random Phenomena Joshua E. Greenspon J.G. Engineering Research Associates, Baltimore, Maryland
Building on classic works in the field, this practical reference provides a solid understanding of sound radiation in air and water. The book presents simplified solutions for calculating the response and the sound radiated from structures and media that are in contact with fluid and are under static, dynamic, and random loading. It first discusses the fundamental relations of beams, plates, and shells and then develops the analysis for random loading, which can also be applied to geophysical phenomena and viscoelastic media.
