Overview

This set of volumes encompasses the study of acoustics to diverse environments ranging from underwater and marine environments, to structural and civil engineering, computational models and aerospace engineering. Each volume comprises peer-reviewed publications in the related field of acoustics from the past decade, arranged such as to review the existing literature, examine new methodologies and then explore novel applications of pioneering acoustic principles. With contributions by eminent acoustics researchers, this set holds key insights for fellow acoustics researchers and engineers of any field impacted by acoustic phenomena.Volume 1's review chapters summarise theories like geoacoustic inversion as well as criticism of the Biot theory of propagation in fluid-saturated porous solids, while the new methodologies shown range from an efficient and stable coupled-mode solution to a cell-based smoothed radial point interpolation method. The book concludes with promising applications like experimental evidence of horizontal refraction and bottom attenuation coefficient inversion.Volume 2 reviews topics including radiation boundary conditions for the Helmholtz equation, and analytical interpretation of the early literature on the theory of vibrations. The methodologies range from coupled boundary element and energy flow method as well as sound radiation of a line source. The work concludes with promising applications like Lamb Waves in a poroelastic plate and experimental validations of reconstructed excitation forces acting inside a solid enclosure.Volume 3 provides summaries of theories including the benchmark study on eigenfrequencies of fluid-loaded structures, and the Burton and Miller method, while the new methodologies presented range from a coupled boundary element and energy flow method, to an efficient approach to the simulation of acoustic radiation. The volume concludes with promising applications like a comparison of transient infinite elements and transient Kirchhoff integral methods, as well as a fast multi-frequency iterative acoustic boundary element method.Volume 4 depicts the context of conventional methodologies including short-wave components and Galbrun's equation, while its new methodologies range from radiation and outflow boundary conditions for direct computation of acoustic and flow disturbances to the effect of airfoil shape on trailing edge noise. The collection concludes with promising applications like helicopter noise predictions and conservative source interpolation methods for aeroacoustics.
