Designed for engineers with little or no training in noise measurement, this practical handbook provides a thorough grounding in machinery acoustics, techniques crucial for the design of today's quieter machines. After a discussion of fundamental acoustic terminology; the authors describe various methods for machinery sound power measurement in free field, in semi-reverberant space, and in a reverberant room. Other sections consider noise measurement on nominally identical small...
More DescriptionDesigned for engineers with little or no training in noise measurement, this practical handbook provides a thorough grounding in machinery acoustics, techniques crucial for the design of today's quieter machines. After a discussion of fundamental acoustic terminology; the authors describe various methods for machinery sound power measurement in free field, in semi-reverberant space, and in a reverberant room. Other sections consider noise measurement on nominally identical small machines, sound intensity measurement, and the new analogue and digital noise measuring equipment. In an era of growing noise pollution, this book will be very useful to acoustic engineers and equipment designers responsible for producing quieter machines.
