Understanding Acoustics : An Experimentalist’s View of Sound and Vibration

Understanding Acoustics An Experimentalist’s View of Sound and Vibration

This open access textbook, like Rayleigh’s classic Theory of Sound, focuses on experiments and on approximation techniques rather than mathematical rigor. The second edition has benefited from comments and corrections provided by many acousticians, in particular those who have used the first edition...
