Elements of aviation acoustics
Elements of aviation acoustics<br /><br />Quieting cabin and flight deck noise, and reducing the impact of noise on<br />commununities near airports are matters of great importance to<br />air-manufacturers and airline operators for already more than four decades.<br />Undoubtedly, knowledge of both aeronautics and acoustics is essential for<br />a clear understanding of any aviation noise problem. Such understandmg is<br />a necessary prerequisite to the control of interior and exterior noise.<br />In view of the importance of education in dealing with noise control, this<br />book is devoted to the branch of aerospace engineering known as aviation<br />acoustics. The book contains twelve chapters and three appendixes which<br />originate from an annual course on airplane noise given by the author to<br />aerospace engineering students at Delft University of Technology (DUI).<br />The book is intended to be useful to undergraduate students of aerospace<br />engineering, and also to researchers and practicing engineers who wish to<br />revive their understanding of the topic. <br />The text assumes litde or no previous knowledge of acoustics.<br />Contents<br />Preface - 1.
