Author Information

Professor Dr. F. P. Mechel, born in 1930 in Blickweiler, Germany, studied Applied Physics in Mainz, Heidelberg, and Goettingen. After his doctoral thesis (1959) he worked for many years as a researcher, first in Applied Physics and later in Acoustics. In 1971 he became a professor at Saarland University. At the same time he was head of the R&D department of a major corporation. In 1977 he became the Head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics in Stuttgart, where he retired in 1990. Since 1990 Professor Mechel has been an active hobby scientist. F. P. Mechel is author of numerous articles, six books as well as co-author and co-editor of four handbooks on Acoustics.
