Van Renterghem Timothy - Predicting Outdoor Sound - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: The second edition of Predicting Outdoor Sound is an up - to - date reference on the propagation of sound close to the ground and its prediction. New content includes comparisons between predictions and data for road traffic railway and wind turbine noise; descriptions of source characteristics in the Harmonoise model; propagation over rough seas parallel low walls and lattices; outlines of numerical methods; gabion (caged stones) and sonic crystal noise barriers; meteorological effects on noise barrier performance; and the prediction requirements for auralization. The book brings together relevant theories prediction schemes and data thereby providing a basis for determining what model or scheme might be applicable for any situation. It also offers a background on useful analytical approximations and the restrictions as well as difficulties and limitations associated with engineering prediction schemes. The text should be of considerable interest to researchers in outdoor sound propagation and more generally it should provide a comprehensive primer on the topic for lecturers consultants and students in acoustics and noise control.
