Acoustics is a major concern in many long spaces, such as road or railway tunnels, underground/railway stations, corridors concourses and urban streets. This exposition of acoustics of long spaces presents the fundamentals of acoustic theory and calculation formulae for long spa…
"Long spaces, such as railway stations, urban streets, road tunnels and transition spaces within buildings, present acute acoustical problems. Acoustics experts recognise a need for better understanding of the behaviour of sound in such spaces, particularly the safety implicatio…
The book is dedicated to the application of self-consistent methods to the solution of static and dynamic problems of the mechanics and physics of composite materials. The effective elastic, electric, dielectric, thermo-conductive and other properties of composite materials rein…

This book gathers the proceedings of the Fifth Symposium on Hybrid RANS-LES Methods, which was held on March 19-21 in College Station, Texas, USA. The different chapters, written by leading experts, reports on the most recent developments in flow physics modelling, and gives a s…
Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the barking of a pet dog, the meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive. This book presents a thorough exploration into how acoustically conveyed emotions are g…
