The author gives a comprehensive overview of materials and components for noise control and acoustical comfort. Sound absorbers must meet acoustical and architectural requirements, which fibrous or porous material alone can meet. Basics and applications are demonstrated, with representative examples for spatial acoustics, free-field test facilities and canal linings. Acoustic engineers and construction professionals will find some new basic concepts and tools for developments in order to improve acoustical comfort. Interference absorbers, active resonators and micro-perforated absorbers of different materials and designs complete the list of applications.

List of contents

Introduction.- The Low Frequency Problem.- Sound Absorption for Noise Control and Room-acoustical Design.- Passive Absorbers.- Panel Absorbers.- Helmholtz Resonators.- Interference Silencers.- Absorbers with Active Components.- Micro perforated Absorbers.- Integrated and Integrating Sound Absorbers.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Helmut V. Fuchs studierte Elektrotechnik an der TU Berlin und promovierte dort bei L. Cremer und R. Wille. Er war an Instituten der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrt in Berlin und Oberpfaffenhofen, Sound and Vibration der University of Southampton sowie Aeroacoustics der Stanford University in der Grundlagenforschung tätig. Seit 1979 widmete er sich als Begründer der Abteilung Technische Akustik am Fraunhofer IBP in Stuttgart der angewandten Forschung und Entwicklung auf verschiedenen Gebieten des Schallschutzes. Seit 1986 war er Professor für Bauakustik und Immissionsschutz an der FH für Technik in Stuttgart, seit 1995 auch stellvertretender Institutsleiter sowie Leiter der Abteilung Raumakustik/Technische Akustik des IBP. Heute engagiert sich der Autor u.a. als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Forschungsgesellschaft für angewandte Systemsicherheit und Arbeitsmedizin und Berater der Berufsgenossenschaft Nahrungsmittel und Gaststätten.

Report

From the reviews:
"This book is a valuable and practical reference for experienced professionals working in the fields of architectural acoustics and noise control. ... this is a long needed reference that goes well beyond handbooks that are merely a summary of equations, lacking examples and practical application of the theory. Thus, it is highly recommended." (Daniel J. Kato, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 62 (1), January-February, 2014)
