  • The Science of String Instruments

    Edited by Thomas D. Rossing ...
    Thomas D. Rossing String instruments are found in almost all musical cultures. Bowed string instruments form the backbone of symphony orchestras, and they are used widely as solo inst- ments and in chamber music as well. Guitars are used universally in pop music as well as in classical music. The piano is probably the most versatile of all musical inst- ments, used widely not only in ensemble with ... Read more

  • The Physics of Music and Color

    by Leon Gunther ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The Physics of Music and Color deals with two subjects, music and color - sound and light in the physically objective sense - in a single volume. The basic underlying physical principles of the two subjects overlap greatly: both music and color are manifestations of wave phenomena, and commonalities exist as to the production, transmission, and detection of sound and light. This book aids readers ... Read more

  • Aerodynamic Noise

    An Introduction for Physicists and Engineers

    by Tarit Bose ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Aerodynamic Noise extensively covers the theoretical basis and mathematical modeling of sound, especially the undesirable sounds produced by aircraft. This noise could come from an aircraft’s engine—propellers, fans, combustion chamber, jets—or the vehicle itself—external surfaces—or from sonic booms. The majority of the sound produced is due to the motion of air and its interaction with solid ... Read more

  • Asymptotic Approximations for the Sound Generated by Aerofoils in Unsteady Subsonic Flows

    by Lorna Ayton ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis investigates the sound generated by solid bodies in steady subsonic flows with unsteady perturbations, as is typically used when determining the noise generated by turbulent interactions. The focus is predominantly on modelling the sound generated by blades within an aircraft engine, and the solutions are presented as asymptotic approximations. Key analytical techniques, such as the ... Read more
