Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions

Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions addresses an increasingly important branch of fluid mechanics--the absorption of noise and vibration by fluid flow. This subject, which offers numerous challenges to conventional areas of acoustics, is of growing concern in places where the environment is adversely affected by sound. Howe presents useful background material on fluid mechanics and the elementary concepts of classical acoustics and structural vibrations, and then moves on to more advanced topics, suited to a graduate level course on the theory of acoustics and aerodynamic sound. Using examples, many of which include complete worked solutions, he vividly illustrates the theoretical concepts involved.Howe, M.
