Encompasses all up-to-date aspects of noise and vibration control in building services in one simple and convenient volume. It provides the necessary background in acoustics and, more importantly, practical advice in the evaluation and control of noise and vibration, with extensive use of tables, illustrations and actual examples. The book's contributors, the senior engineering staff of SRL Ltd, have more than 150 years' collective experience in acoustics, involving design and remedial work on noise and vibration aspects of building services.

This publication provides professional engineers, architects and construction managers with over 125 pages of technical guidance for the control of noise and vibrations in buildings. Here is what is discussed: 1. FUNDAMENTALS OF ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATIONS, 2. EQUIPMENT VIBRATIONS AND SEISMIC LOADS, 3. NOISE CONTROL IN BUILDINGS, 4. SOUND LEVEL DATA FOR MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

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. With our recently published revision of Beranek & Ver's Noise and Vibration Control Engineering, Wiley is a highly respected name in the acoustics business. Crocker's new handbook covers an area of great importance to engineers and designers. 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.

This is an introduction to the physics of noise and its generation, transmission and control in buildings.

ENGINEERING ACOUSTICS NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL A masterful introduction to the theory of acoustics along with methods for the control of noise and vibration In Engineering Acoustics: Noise and Vibration Control, two experts in the field review the fundamentals of acoustics, noise, and vibration. The authors show how this theoretical work can be applied to real-world problems such as the control of noise and vibration in aircraft, automobiles and trucks, machinery, and road and rail vehicles. Engineering Acoustics: Noise and Vibration Control covers a wide range of topics. The sixteen chapters include the following: Human hearing and individual and community response to noise and vibration Noise and vibration instrumentation and measurements Interior and exterior noise of aircraft as well as road and rail vehicles Methods for the control of noise and vibration in industrial equipment and machinery Use of theoretical models in absorptive and reactive muffler and silencer designs Practical applications of finite element, boundary element and statistical energy analysis Sound intensity theory, measurements, and applications Noise and vibration control in buildings How to design air-conditioning systems to minimize noise and vibration Readers, whether students, professional engineers, or community planners, will find numerous worked examples throughout the book, and useful references at the end of each chapter to support supplemental reading on specific topics. There is a detailed index and a glossary of terms in acoustics, noise, and vibration.
