"Howe presents essential background material on fluid mechanics and the elementary concepts of classical acoustics and structural vibrations. Theoretical concepts are illustrated in detail by numerous examples, many of which include complete worked solutions. He provides the basis for all calculations necessary for the determination of sound generation by aircraft, ships, general ventilation, and combustion systems, as well as musical instruments." "Both a graduate textbook and a reference book for researchers, Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions is an important synthesis of information in this field. It will also aid engineers in the theory and practice of noise control."--Jacket.
