Summary: Architectural Acoustics, Second Edition presents a thorough technical overview of the discipline, from basic concepts to specific design advice. Beginning with a brief history, it reviews the fundamentals of acoustics, human perception and reaction to sound, acoustic noise measurements, noise metrics, and environmental noise characterization. In-depth treatment is given to the theoretical principles and practical applications of wave acoustics, sound transmission, vibration and vibration isolation, and noise transmission in floors and mechanical systems. Chapters on specific design problems demonstrate how to apply the theory, including treatment of multifamily dwellings, office buildings, rooms for speech, rooms for music, multipurpose rooms, auditoriums, sanctuaries, studios, listening rooms, and the design of sound reinforcement systems. Detailed figures illustrate the practical applications of acoustic principles, showing how to implement design ideas in actual structures. This compendium of theoretical and practical design information brings the relevant concepts, equations, techniques, and specific design problems together in one place, including both fundamentals and more advanced material. Practicing engineers will find it an invaluable reference for their daily work, while advanced students will appreciate its rigorous treatment of the basic building blocks of acoustical theory. Considered the most complete resource in the field - includes basic fundamental relations, derived from first principles, and examples needed to solve real engineering problems. Provides a well-organized text for students first approaching the subject as well as a reliable reference for experienced practitioners looking to refresh their technical knowledge base. New content for developing professionals includes case studies and coverage of specific focus areasSummary: Front Cover -- ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS -- Copyright -- Dedication -- CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- FIRST EDITION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- SECOND EDITION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- 1 - HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION -- 1.1 GREEK AND ROMAN PERIOD (650 BC-AD 400) -- 1.2 EARLY CHRISTIAN PERIOD (AD 400-800) -- 1.3 ROMANESQUE PERIOD (800-1100) -- 1.4 GOTHIC PERIOD (1100-1400) -- 1.5 RENAISSANCE PERIOD (1400-1600) -- 1.6 BAROQUE PERIOD (1600-1750) -- 1.7 ORIGINS OF SOUND THEORY -- 1.8 CLASSICAL PERIOD (1750-1825) -- 1.9 ROMANTIC PERIOD (1825-1900) -- 1.10 BEGINNINGS OF MODERN ACOUSTICS -- 1.11 TWENTIETH CENTURY -- 2 - FUNDAMENTALS OF ACOUSTICS -- 2.1 FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH -- 2.2 SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION -- 2.3 SUPERPOSITION OF WAVES -- 2.4 SOUND WAVES -- 2.5 ACOUSTICAL PROPERTIES -- 2.6 LEVELS -- 2.7 SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION -- 3 - HUMAN PERCEPTION AND REACTION TO SOUND -- 3.1 HUMAN HEARING MECHANISMS -- 3.2 PITCH -- 3.3 LOUDNESS -- 3.4 INTELLIGIBILITY -- 3.5 ANNOYANCE -- 3.6 HEALTH AND SAFETY -- 3.7 OTHER EFFECTS -- 4 - ACOUSTIC MEASUREMENTS AND NOISE METRICS -- 4.1 MICROPHONES -- 4.2 SOUND LEVEL METERS -- 4.3 FIELD MEASUREMENTS -- 4.4 BROADBAND NOISE METRICS -- 4.5 BAND-LIMITED NOISE METRICS -- 4.6 SPECIALIZED MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES -- 5 - ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE -- 5.1 NOISE CHARACTERIZATION -- 5.2 BARRIERS -- 5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS -- 5.4 TRAFFIC NOISE MODELING -- 5.5 RAILROAD NOISE -- 5.6 AIRCRAFT NOISE -- 6 - WAVE ACOUSTICS -- 6.1 RESONANCE -- 6.2 WAVE EQUATION -- 6.3 SIMPLE SOURCES -- 6.4 COHERENT PLANAR SOURCES -- 6.5 LOUDSPEAKERS -- 7 - SOUND AND SOLID SURFACES -- 7.1 PERFECTLY REFLECTING INFINITE SURFACES -- 7.2 REFLECTIONS FROM FINITE OBJECTS -- 7.3 ABSORPTION -- 7.4 ABSORPTION MECHANISMS -- 7.5 ABSORPTION BY NONPOROUS ABSORBERS -- 7.6 ABSORPTION BY RESONANT ABSORBERS -- 8 - SOUND IN ENCLOSED SPACES -- 8.1 STANDING WAVES IN PIPES AND TUBES.PPN: PPN: 807226319Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE | BSZ-30-PQE-K1DLR
