DESCRIPTION:
Hansen is Professor and Head of the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Adelaide. With a wealth of experience in consulting, research and teaching in acoustics, he has authored numerous books, journal articles and conference proceedings on the topic.. He is an expert and widely published acoustics physicist who has also worked as a senior consultant in industry.Colin H. David A. Bies is now retired having served as a Reader
If you don’t already have Bies and Hansen and you work in the field of noise control then this should be high on your list of purchases.Noise Control Engineering Journal
Mohammad Abdulqader said One of the best references on industrial noise control. I really appreciate the excellent work of D. Bies and C. Hansen in putting most of their research papers and efforts in this book. I consider this my # 1 reference in industrial noise control. There are of course many books in my library but this book explains in a better way how the formulas are derived. The book is excellent for those who have basic understanding of industrial noise. The book covers most of the cases in the design of barriers and partitions; however it did not provide the method how to model three layer plates. In enclosures design. Sylvestre said Advanced but thorough - a bible for the experienced acoustician. I have spent a number of years in the acoustics field and this book is the bible of industrial acoustics.Having said that, this is not the "easiest" book to read and understand. It is aimed for those pursuing advanced studies in acoustics and acoustic control, with the assumption the reader has a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of math and physics.The first few chapters in the book do give a brief introduction to sound (from a physics standpoint) and calculating sound levels for various sources. Anyone familiar with this information will r. Engineering Noise Control An excellent book for an acoustic consultant or anyone trying to solve a problem in noise control. Bies and Hansen have gone through several editions with improvements and corrections that have fine tuned this book. (Edition one had a mistake in a valve noise equation 11.27, which has been corrected and the section expanded in edition four.) The section on instrumentation has been updated to include things like holography and beamforming. Silencer design is well covered. Fan and jet noise predictions are useful but somewhat over simplified. Noise met
The practice of engineering noise control demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics, the practical application of current noise control technology and the underlying theoretical concepts. This fully revised and updated fourth edition provides a comprehensive explanation of these key areas clearly, yet without oversimplification. Written by experts in their field, the practical focus echoes advances in the discipline, reflected in the fourth edition’s new material, including:completely updated coverage of sound transmission loss, mufflers and exhaust stack directivitya new chapter on practical numerical acousticsthorough explanation of the latest instruments for measurements and analysis.Essential reading for advanced students or those already well versed in the art and science of noise control, this distinctive text can be used to solve real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as engineers and occupational hygienists.
