Acoustic Analyses Using Matlab and Ansys

by Carl Howard, Benjamin Cazzolato

Overview

This book describes the use of ANSYS finite element analysis software and MATLAB to solve acoustic problems. These range from simple textbook problems, to complex ones that can only be solved using FEA software. The book includes instructions on relevant mathematical modelling, and hints on the use of ANSYS software. The MATLAB source code provides readers with valuable tools for doing their own validations, and is available for download. The book provides practical training in the use of FEA for basic modelling and solving acoustic problems.

Editorial Reviews

"… my students have found the book invaluable for learning how to use ANSYS Workbench for solving vibro-acoustics problems. The examples are numerous, detailed, well-chosen and complete with theoretical solutions. For these reasons and others, I believe ANSYS users will keep a copy of the book nearby and refer to it often."
—Noise Control Engineering Journal, July-August 2015

"A tour de force of quintessential theoretical acoustical topics with an exceptionally coherent crash course in finite element analysis (FEA) software."
—Journal of the Audio Engineering Society

"This book is a must for those wanting to explore and investigate the world of computational engineering acoustics. …Its comprehensive instructional framework supports a conversational, down-to-earth narrative style."
—Andrew Peplow, Noise and vibration specialist, Atlas Copco Rock Drills, Sweden

"These guys know their stuff!! …I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is involved in acoustic modelling – it forms the perfect basis for acoustic course work as well as being useful for research and industrial modelling of acoustic devices."
—Ian Bedwell, Thales Australia, Underwater Systems, Technical Consultant
