    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.

    • Revised classic text
    • Combines noise and vibration in one book
    • Ideal for undergraduate courses, practising engineers and researchers

    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
