Acoustics

This book contains selected and expanded contributions presented at the 15th Conference on Acoustics and Vibration of Mechanical Structures held in Timisoara, Romania, May 30-31, 2019. The conference focused on a broad range of topics related to acoustics and vibration, such as analytical approaches to nonlinear noise and vibration problems, environmental and occupational noise, structural vibration, biomechanics and bioacoustics, as well as experimental approaches to vibration problems in industrial processes.

Elektrofahrzeuge sind für Entwickler der Fahrzeug­akustik ebenso eine Heraus­forderung wie eine höhere NVH-Performance durch Leicht­bau­strukturen und kleinere Motoren mit Turbo­lader. Die Auto­mobil­forschung muss das Akustik­manage­ment im Fahrzeug neu denken. Die internationale Automotive Acoustics Conference bietet dazu als Fach­tagung das notwendige Experten­wissen, um die künftigen Anforderungen an Antriebs­strang, Antriebs­systeme und Fahrzeug­architek­turen zu erfüllen. Simulations­prozesse und Verfahren der Multi­physik sind dabei essenziell, um Ruhe in die Passagier­kabine zu bringen. Die Konferenz zur car acoustics bietet dazu neustes Experten­wissen.

E.F.F. Chladni’s experiments and observations with sound and vibrations profoundly influenced the development of the field of Acoustics. The famous Chladni diagrams along with other observations are contained in Die Akustik, published in German in 1802 and Traité d’Acoustique, a greatly expanded version, published in French in 1809. This is the first comprehensive translation of the expanded French version of Traité d’Acoustique, using the 1802 German publication for reference and clarification. The translation was undertaken by Robert T. Beyer, PhD (1920-2008), noted acoustician, Professor of Physics at Brown University, and Gold Medal recipient of the Acoustical Society of America. Along with many other projects completed over the course of his career, Dr. Beyer translated Von Neumann’s seminal work, Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics from the original German, spent 30 years translating Russian physics treatises and journals, served as editor of the English translation of the Soviet Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics, and also authored Sounds of our Times: Two Hundred Years of Acoustics.
