This book is the first of its kind. It provides the reader with a logical and highly quantitative means of including noise as a parameter in the early design stages of a machine or structure. The unique and unified methodology builds upon the familiar disciplines of acoustics, structural dynamics and optimization. It also exemplifies the art of simplification - the essence of all good engineering design. =. Strategies for designing quiet structures require extensive analytical and experimental tools. For computing the sound power from complex structures the authors recommend a new 3-D, lumped parameter formulation. Not only this, they also include, on diskette, an original numerical program POWER. This fully developed, user-friendly program can be applied generally to noise-control-by-design problems. Detailed instructions for running the application are given in the appendix as well as several sample problems to help the user get started. =. The authors also describe a new instrument: a specially developed resistance probe used to measure a structure=92s acoustic surface resistance. As an example, the procedure is outlined for measuring the valve cover of an internal combustion engine. Indeed, throughout the book the reader is presented with actual experiments, numerical and physical that they can replicate in their own laboratory. This is a must-have book for engineers working in industries that include noise control in the design of a product. Its practical and didactic approach also makes it ideally suited to graduate students. more...

A study of difference equations with applications to queues. It is based on a generalization of the Riemann integral introduced by N.E. Norlund, allowing differentiation with respect to the independent variable and permitting greater flexibility in constructing solutions and approximations. more...

In this book, the detailed mathematical analysis of the scattering theory is presented, soliton solutions are obtained and soliton interactions, both scalar and vector, are analyzed. Many details presented, including aspects of the scattering theory, solution methodology, soliton solutions and vector soliton interactions are not available in the previously-published literature. more...
