Tohyama M. Sound and Signals

Springer, 2011. — 420 p. — ISBN: 3642201210 9783642201219.The book provides readers the fundamental basis of acoustics and vibration science and proceeds up to recent hot topics related to acoustic transfer functions and signal analysis including a perceptual point of view. This book is an up-to-date reference and textbook on modern acoustics from a signal-theoretic point of view, as well as a wave-theoretic approach for students, engineers, and researchers.In the first part, the work uniquely introduces into the fundamentals without using heavy mathematics. The following, advanced chapters deal with new and deep insights into acoustic signal analysis and investigation of room transfer functions based on the poles and zeros.Oscillation and Resonance
Simple Resonators for Sound
Propagation of Oscillation
Vibration of String and Wave Propagation
Waves and Speed of Sound in the Air
Sound in Tube
Sound in Space as Plane and Spherical Waves
Wave Equations and Sound Radiation in Space
Sound Waves in Rooms
Reverberation Sound in Rooms
Spatial Distribution of Sound in Rooms
Room Transfer Function
Representation of Sound in Time and Frequency Plane
Poles, Zeros, and Path InformationAppendix: Resonance Frequency for Displacement and Velocity Resonance
