Computational Aspects of Structural Acoustics and Vibration

by Göran Sandberg (Editor), Roger Ohayon (Editor)

Overview

Computational methods within structural acoustics, vibration and fluid-structure interaction are powerful tools for investigating acoustic and structural-acoustic problems in many sectors of industry; in the building industry regarding room acoustics, in the car industry and aeronautical industry for optimizing structural components with regard to vibrations characteristics etc. It is on the verge of becoming a common tool for noise characterization and design for optimizing structural properties and geometries in order to accomplish a desired acoustic environment. The book covers the field of computational mechanics, and then moved into the field of formulations of multiphysics and multiscale.

The book is addressed to graduate level, PhD students and young researchers interested in structural dynamics, vibrations and acoustics. It is also suitable for industrial researchers in mechanical, aeronautical and civil engineering with a professional interest in structural dynamics, vibrations and acoustics or involved in questions regarding noise characterization and reduction in building, car, plane, space, train, industries by means of computer simulations.

Editorial Reviews

From the book reviews:

“This book, published in 2008, is based on the course materials given at CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine during the summer of 2006. … The book gives a lot of useful theoretical, computational, and practical information which is essential also in 2013. The book is recommended for all who intend to use computation tools for design against noise and vibration of structures and have some undergraduate knowledge of the field.” (Béla Buna, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 18 (3), 2013)
