| Title | Applied Data Communications and Networks |
| Author(s) | Buchanan, B |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1996. |
| Description | XX, 362 p. 70 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The usage of data communications and computer networks are ever in?? creasing. It is one of the few technological areas which brings benefits to most of the countries and the peoples of the world. Without it many industries could not exist. It is the objective of this book to discuss data communications in a readable form that students and professionals all over the world can understand. As much as possible the text uses dia?? grams to illustrate key points. Most currently available data communications books take their view?? point from either a computer scientists top-down approach or from an electronic engineers bottom-up approach. This book takes a practical ap?? proach and supports it with a theoretical background to create a textbook which can be used by electronic engineers, computer engineers, computer scientists and industry professionals. It discusses most of the current and future key data communications technologies, including: ??? Data Communications Standards and Models; ??? Local Area Networks (Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI); ??? Transmission Control ProtocollInternet Protocol (TCPIIP); ??? High-level Data Link Control (HDLC); ??? X.25 Packet-switching; ??? Asynchronous Communications (RS-232) and Modems; ??? Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM); ??? Integrated Digital Services Network (ISDN); ??? Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM); ??? Error Control; ??? X-Windows. The chapters are ordered in a possible structure for the presentation of the material and have not been sectioned into data communications areas |

| Title | Acoustical Holography : Volume 1 Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Acoustical Holography, held at the Douglas Advanced Research Laboratories, Huntington Beach, California December 14???15, 1967 |
| Author(s) | Metherell, A |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1969. |
| Description | XVIII, 294 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Only a space limitation of 115 seats prevented this First International Symposium on Acoustical Holography from having an attendance of over 250. Unfortunately, the size of the auditorium of the Douglas Advanced Research Laboratories required that attendance be by invitation only, and many deserving and interested scientists could not be present. This volume presents the proceedings of the symposium, and hopefully will help compen?? sate those individuals who were unable to attend. The symposium itself consisted of sixteen formal papers. The seven?? teenth, by Dr. P. Greguss, was not received in time to be read but is included in these proceedings. The presence of Professor Dennis Gabor considerably enhanced the informal sessions, which frequently became as spirited as one might expect in a new field. Dr. H. M. A. El-Sum, a consultant to the Douglas Advanced Research Laboratories and a pioneer in the field of holography, set the stage with the first paper. He provided a general introduction to the physical principles and practical methods involved in optical and acoustical holography. His paper also included a summary of various specific techniques currently used in sound holography, with the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations involved for each approach |

| Title | Acoustical Imaging |
| Author(s) | Kessler, Lawrence W |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1988. |
| Description | XI, 658 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book contains the technical papers presented at the 16th International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging which was held in Chicago, Illinois USA from June 10-12, 1987. This meeting has long been a leading forum for acoustic imaging scientists and engineers to meet and exchange ideas from a wide range of disciplines. As evidenced by the diversity of topical groups into which the papers are organized, participants at the meeting and readers of this volume can benefit from developments in medical imaging, materials testing, mathematics, microsocopy and seismic exploration. A common denominator in this field, as its name implies, is the generation, display, manipulation and analysis of images made with mechanical wave energy. Sound waves respond to the elastic properties of the medium through which they propagate, and as such, are capable of characterizing that medium; something that cannot be done by other means. It is astonishing to realize that acoustic wave imaging is commonly performed over about eight decades of frequency, with seismology and microscopy serving as lower and upper bounds, respectively. The physics is the same, but the implementations are quite different and there is much to learn. The conference chairman and editor wishes to express his appreciation to those who helped run the symposium - namely the Technical Review COIIII1ttee and Session Cbair:aen including Floyd Dunn, Gordon S |

| Title | Recent Advances in Aeroacoustics : Proceedings of an International Symposium held at Stanford University, August 22???26, 1983 |
| Author(s) | Krothapalli, A;Smith, C.A |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1986. |
| Description | XII, 511 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Joint Institute for Aeronautics and Acoustics at Stanford University was established in October 1973 to provide an academic environment for long-term cooperative research between Stanford and NASA Ames Research Center. Since its establishment, the Institute has conducted theoretical and experimental work in the areas of aerodynamics, acoustics, fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, guidance and control, and human factors. This research has involved Stanford faculty, research associates, graduate students, and many distinguished visitors in collaborative efforts with the research staff of NASA Ames Research Center. The occasion of the Institute's tenth anniversary was used to reflect back on where that research has brought us, and to consider where our endeavors should be directed next. Thus, an International Symposium was held to review recent advances in the fields relevant to the activities of the Institute and to discuss the areas of research to be undertaken in the future. This anniversary was also chosen as an opportunity to honor one of the Institute's founders and its director, Professor Krishnamurty Karamcheti. It has been his crea?? tive inspiration that has provided the ideal research environment at the Joint Institute |

| Title | Wavelet Basics |
| Author(s) | Chan, Y. T |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1995. |
| Description | IX, 134 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Since the study of wavelets is a relatively new area, much of the research coming from mathematicians, most of the literature uses terminology, concepts and proofs that may, at times, be difficult and intimidating for the engineer. Wavelet Basics has therefore been written as an introductory book for scientists and engineers. The mathematical presentation has been kept simple, the concepts being presented in elaborate detail in a terminology that engineers will find familiar. Difficult ideas are illustrated with examples which will also aid in the development of an intuitive insight. Chapter 1 reviews the basics of signal transformation and discusses the concepts of duals and frames. Chapter 2 introduces the wavelet transform, contrasts it with the short-time Fourier transform and clarifies the names of the different types of wavelet transforms. Chapter 3 links multiresolution analysis, orthonormal wavelets and the design of digital filters. Chapter 4 gives a tour d'horizon of topics of current interest: wavelet packets and discrete time wavelet transforms, and concludes with applications in signal processing |

| Title | Principles of Vibration and Sound |
| Author(s) | Rossing, Thomas D;Fletcher, Neville H |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1995. |
| Description | X, 247 p. 3 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Some years ago we set out to write a detailed book about the basic physics of musical instruments. There have been many admirable books published about the history of the development of musical instruments, about their construction as a master craft, and about their employment in musical perfor?? mance; several excellent books have treated the acoustics of musical instru?? ments in a semiquantitative way; but none to our knowledge had then at?? tempted to assemble the hard acoustic information available in the research literature and to make it available to a wider readership. Our book The Physics of Musical Instruments, published by Springer-Verlag in 1991 and subsequently reprinted several times with only minor corrections, was the outcome of our labor. Because it was our aim to make our discussion of musical instruments as complete and rigorous as possible, our book began with a careful introduction to vibrating and radiating systems important in that field. We treated simple linear oscillators, both in isolation and coupled together, and extended that to a discussion of some aspects of driven and autonomous nonlinear oscilla?? tors. Because musical instruments are necessarily extended structures, we then went on to discuss the vibrations of strings, bars, membranes, plates, and shells, paying particular attention to the mode structures and characteristic frequencies, for it is these that are musically important |

| Title | Modern Methods in Analytical Acoustics : Lecture Notes |
| Author(s) | Crighton, D.G;Dowling, Ann P;Ffowcs Williams, J.E;Heckl, M.A;Leppington, F.A |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 1992. |
| Description | XVIII, 738 p. 3 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Modern Methods in Analytical Acoustics considers topics fundamental to the understanding of noise, vibration and fluid mechanisms. The series of lectures on which this material is based began by some twenty five years ago and has been developed and expanded ever since. Acknowledged experts in the field have given this course many times in Europe and the USA. Although the scope of the course has widened considerably, the primary aim of teaching analytical techniques of acoustics alongside specific areas of wave motion and unsteady fluid mechanisms remains. The distinguished authors of this volume are drawn from Departments of Acoustics, Engineering of Applied Mathematics in Berlin, Cambridge and London. Their intention is to reach a wider audience of all those concerned with acoustic analysis than has been able to attend the course |

| Title | The Physics of Musical Instruments |
| Author(s) | Fletcher, Neville H;Rossing, Thomas D |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1998. |
| Description | XX, 756 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | When we wrote the first edition of this book, we directed our presenta?? tion to the reader with a compelling interest in musical instruments who has "a reasonable grasp of physics and who is not frightened by a little mathematics." We are delighted to find how many such people there are. The opportunity afforded by the preparation of this second edition has allowed us to bring our discussion up to date by including those new insights that have arisen from the work of many dedicated researchers over the past decade. We have also taken the opportunity to revise our presentation of some aspects of the subject to make it more general and, we hope, more immediately accessible. We have, of course, corrected any errors that have come to our attention, and we express our thanks to those friends who pointed out such defects in the early printings of the first edition. We hope that this book will continue to serve as a guide, both to those undertaking research in the field and to those who simply have a deep interest in the subject. June 1991 N.H.F and T.D.R |

| Title | Wave Propagation in Solids and Fluids |
| Author(s) | Davis, Julian L |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1988. |
| Description | X, 386 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The purpose of this volume is to present a clear and systematic account of the mathematical methods of wave phenomena in solids, gases, and water that will be readily accessible to physicists and engineers. The emphasis is on developing the necessary mathematical techniques, and on showing how these mathematical concepts can be effective in unifying the physics of wave propagation in a variety of physical settings: sound and shock waves in gases, water waves, and stress waves in solids. Nonlinear effects and asymptotic phenomena will be discussed. Wave propagation in continuous media (solid, liquid, or gas) has as its foundation the three basic conservation laws of physics: conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, which will be described in various sections of the book in their proper physical setting. These conservation laws are expressed either in the Lagrangian or the Eulerian representation depending on whether the boundaries are relatively fixed or moving. In any case, these laws of physics allow us to derive the "field equations" which are expressed as systems of partial differential equations. For wave propagation phenomena these equations are said to be "hyperbolic" and, in general, nonlinear in the sense of being "quasi linear" . We therefore attempt to determine the properties of a system of "quasi linear hyperbolic" partial differential equations which will allow us to calculate the displacement, velocity fields, etc |
