Online resources: Summary: In Sound Propagation: An Impedance Based Approach, Professor Yang-Hann Kim introduces acoustics and sound fields by using the concept of impedance. Kim starts with vibrations and waves, demonstrating how vibration can be envisaged as a kind of wave, mathematically and physically. One-dimensional waves are used to convey the fundamental concepts. Readers can then understand wave propagation in terms of characteristic and driving point impedance. The essential measures for acoustic waves, such as dB scale, octave scale, acoustic pressure, energy, and intensity, are explained. These measures are all realized by one-dimensional examples, which provide mathematically simplest but clear enough physical insights. Kim then moves on to explaining waves on a flat surface of discontinuity, demonstrating how propagation characteristics of waves change in space when there is a distributed impedance mismatch. Next is a chapter on radiation, scattering, and diffraction, where Kim shows how these topics can be explained in a unified way, by seeing the changes of waves due to spatially distributed impedance. Lastly, Kim covers sound in closed space, which is considered to be a space that is surrounded by spatially distributed impedance, and introduces two spaces: acoustically large and small space. The bulk of the book is concerned with introducing core fundamental concepts, but the appendices are included as the essentials as well to cover other important topics to extend learning. Offers a less mathematically-intensive means to understand the subject matter Provides an excellent launching point for more advanced study or for review of the basics Based on classroom tested materials developed over the course of two decades Companion site for readers, containing animations and MATLAB code downloads Videos and impedance data available from the author'sSummary: SOUND PROPAGATION: AN IMPEDANCE BASED APPROACH -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- 1 Vibration and Waves -- 1.1 Introduction/Study Objectives -- 1.2 From String Vibration to Wave -- 1.3 One-dimensional Wave Equation -- 1.4 Specific Impedance (Reflection and Transmission) -- 1.5 The Governing Equation of a String -- 1.6 Forced Response of a String: Driving Point Impedance -- 1.7 Wave Energy Propagation along a String -- 1.8 Chapter Summary -- 1.9 Essentials of Vibration and Waves -- 1.9.1 Single- and Two-degree of Freedom Vibration Systems -- 1.9.2 Fourier Series and Fourier Integral -- 1.9.3 Wave Phenomena of Bar, Beam, Membrane, and Plate -- Exercises -- 2 Acoustic Wave Equation and Its Basic Physical Measures -- 2.1 Introduction/Study Objectives -- 2.2 One-dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation -- 2.3 Acoustic Intensity and Energy -- 2.4 The Units of Sound -- 2.5 Analysis Methods of Linear Acoustic Wave Equation -- 2.6 Solutions of the Wave Equation -- 2.7 Chapter Summary -- 2.8 Essentials of Wave Equations and Basic Physical Measures -- 2.8.1 Three-dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation -- 2.8.2 Velocity Potential Function -- 2.8.3 Complex Intensity -- 2.8.4 Singular Sources -- Exercises -- 3 Waves on a Flat Surface of Discontinuity -- 3.1 Introduction/Study Objectives -- 3.2 Normal Incidence on a Flat Surface of Discontinuity -- 3.3 The Mass Law (Reflection and Transmission due to a Limp Wall) -- 3.4 Transmission Loss at a Partition -- 3.5 Oblique Incidence (Snell's Law) -- 3.6 Transmission and Reflection of an Infinite Plate -- 3.7 The Reflection and Transmission of a Finite Structure -- 3.8 Chapter Summary -- 3.9 Essentials of Sound Waves on a Flat Surface of Discontinuity -- 3.9.1 Locally Reacting Surface -- 3.9.2 Transmission Loss by a Partition -- 3.9.3 Transmission and Reflection in Layers.PPN: PPN: 809087464Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
