"Theoretical Acoustics of Underwater Structures" by Elizabeth A. Skelton, J. H. James
Imperial College Press | 1997 | ISBN: 1860940854 9781860940859 | 455 pages | PDF | 27 MB
This tbook provides an account of the linear acoustics of basic isotropic/anistropic structures excited by time-harmonic and transient mechanical forces and acoustic sources. The theoretical methods, developed originally for naval noise control problems, should find civil application in the acoustic modelling of structures fabricated from both fibre-reinforced and isotropic materials, such an endeavour being increasingly desirable and necessary in this noisy world.
Many numerical examples are given to aid physical insight and to provide benchmark computations of sound radiation and sound scattering.
