The book Advanced Applications in Acoustics, Noise and Vibration provides comprehensive and up-to-date overviews of knowledge, applications and research activities in a range of topics that are of current interest in the practice of engineering acoustics and vibration technology. The thirteen chapters are grouped into four parts: signal processing, acoustic modelling, environmental and industrial acoustics, and vibration.

Introduction: Mechanical vibrations: a review of some fundamentals; Sound waves: a review of some fundamentals; Interactions between sound waves and solid structures; Noise and vibration measurement and control procedures; The analysis of noise and vibration signals; Statistical energy analysis of noise and vibration; Pipe flow noise and vibration: a case study; Noise and vibration as a diagnostic tool.

Introduction to Vehicle Vibrations and Sound; Fundamentals of Vehicle Vibrations and Sound; Powertrain Vibrations and Sound; Vibrations and Sounds of Body and Chassis Systems; Evaluation of Vehicle Vibrations and Sound

High standards of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance are expected in vehicle design. Refinement is therefore one of the main engineering/design attributes to be addressed when developing new vehicle models and components.

Noise and Vibration Analysis is a complete and practical guide that combines both signal processing and modal analysis theory with their practical application in noise and vibration analysis. It provides an invaluable, integrated guide for practicing engineers as well as a suitable introduction for students new to the topic of noise and vibration.
