A systematic study of chaotic ray dynamics in underwater acoustics began in the mid-1990s when it was realized that this factor plays a crucial role in long-range sound propagation in the ocean. This monograph summarizing results obtained in this field.
V.1 General linear acoustics - nonlinear acoustics and cavitation - Aeroacoustics and atmospheric sound - underwater sound -- V.2 Ultrasonics, quantum acoustics and physical effects of sound, mechanical vibrations and shock, statistical methods in acoustics, noise: its effect an…
The ocean is opaque to electromagnetic radiation and transparent to low frequency sound, so acoustical methodologies are an important tool for sensing the undersea world. Stochastic sound-speed fluctuations in the ocean, such as those caused by internal waves, result in a progre…
Key discoveries in the field of statistical ocean acoustics over the last 35 years are addressed with illustrations from ocean observations.

Sound is produced by vibrations and as such can be dampened or augmented based on materials selection. This title looks at the effects of sound and vibration on thin structures and details how damage may be avoided, acoustical effects created, and sound levels controlled.

This book treats the topic of sound field synthesis with a focus on serving human listeners though the approach can be also exploited in other areas such as underwater acoustics or ultrasonics. The author derives a fundamental formulation based on standard integral equations and…
This book presents a general formulation for the problem of sound field synthesis that allows for identifying Wave Field Sysnthesis and Near-field Compensated Higher Order Ambisonics methods as particular solution so that a juxtapoistion is straightforward.
