Series Preface

This book series will embrace a wide spectrum of acoustics, noise and vibration topics from theoretical foundations to real world applications. Individual volumes included will range from specialist works of science to advanced undergraduate and graduate student texts. Books in the series will review the scientific principles of acoustics, describe special research studies and discuss solutions for noise and vibration problems in communities, industry and transportation.

The first books in the series include those on biomedical ultrasound, effects of sound on people, engineering acoustics, noise and vibration control, environmental noise management, sound intensity and wind farm noise – books on a wide variety of related topics.

The books I have edited for Wiley, Encyclopedia of Acoustics (1997), Handbook of Acoustics (1998) and Handbook of Noise and Vibration Control (2007), included over 400 chapters written by different authors. Each author had to restrict the chapter length on their special topics to no more than about 10 pages. The books in the current series will allow authors to provide much more in‐depth coverage of their topic.

The series will be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students, consultants, and researchers in acoustics, noise and vibration and, in particular, those involved in engineering and scientific fields, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, civil/structural, electrical, environmental, industrial, materials, naval architecture, and mechanical systems. In addition, the books will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in fields such as audiology, architecture, the environment, physics, signal processing, and speech.
