Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration Analysis for Engineers
Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to include the latest developments in the field. The book's analysis of noise and vibration emphasizes wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. Primarily a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, the volume is also a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers.

Reviews & endorsements
"This is a fine text, comprehensive in content, with depth enough for post graduate students, consultants and researchers alike. Few texts deal with both noise and vibration in any detail; this one is accordingly welcome." C.W. Stammers, Machine Systems Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath
