- Provides graduate-level treatment of acoustics and vibration suitable for use in courses, for self-study, and as a reference
- Highlights fundamental physical principles that can provide independent tests of the validity of numerical solutions, commercial software, and computer simulations
- Demonstrates approximation techniques that greatly simplify the mathematics without a substantial decrease in accuracy
- Incorporates a hydrodynamic approach to the acoustics of sound in fluids that provides a uniform methodology for analysis of lumped-element systems and wave propagation
- Emphasizes actual applications as examples of topics explained in the text
- Includes realistic end-of-chapter problems, some including experimental data, as well as a Solutions Manual for instructors.
- Features ?Talk Like an Acoustician? boxes to highlight key terms introduced in the text.
