Introduction To Noise And Vibration Analysis

Introduction to Noise and Vibration Analysis

Noise and Vibration Analysis

NOISE AND VIBRATION ANALYSIS Complete guide to signal processing and modal analysis theory, with coverage of practical applications and a plethora of learning tools Featuring numerous line diagrams and illustrations, the newly revised and updated Second Edition of Noise and Vibration Analysis is a comprehensive and practical guide that combines both signal processing and modal analysis theory with their practical application in noise and vibration analysis. This new edition has been updated with three new chapters covering experimental modal analysis, operational modal analysis, and practical vibration measurements. Taking a practical learning approach, the text includes exercises that allow the content to be developed in an academic course framework or as supplementary material for private and further study, including multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. An accompanying website hosts a MATLAB® toolbox, additional problems and examples, and videos. Written by a highly qualified author with significant experience in the field, Noise and Vibration Analysis covers topics such as: Dynamic signals and systems, covering periodic, random, and transient signals, RMS value and power, and the Continuous Fourier Transform Time data analysis, covering the sampling theorem, analog, digital, smoothing, and acoustic octave filters, time data differentiation, and FFT-based processing Statistics and random processes, covering expected value, errors in estimates, and probability distribution in random theory, and tests of normality and stationarity Fundamental mechanics, covering Newton’s laws, alternative quantities for describing motion, frequency response plot formats, and rotating mass Noise and Vibration Analysis is an excellent resource for researchers and engineers from the automotive, aerospace, mechanical, or electronics industries who work with experimental or analytical vibration analysis and/or acoustics. The text is also valuable for graduate students enrolled in vibration analysis, experimental structural dynamics, or applied signal analysis courses.

Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration Analysis for Engineers

Noise and Vibration affects all kinds of engineering structures, and is fast becoming an integral part of engineering courses at universities and colleges around the world. In this second edition, Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to take into account recent developments in the field. Much of the new material has been provided by Denis Karczub, who joins Michael as second author for this edition. This book treats both noise and vibration in a single volume, with particular emphasis on wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. There are numerous case studies, test cases, and examples for students to work through. The book is primarily intended as a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, but is also a valuable reference for researchers and professionals looking to gain an overview of the field.
