There are two methods of computing the vibration field of a structure subject to specified inputs: (i) modal summation and (ii) direct algorithms. This section presents analysis of sound radiation by ...

For the purpose of estimating their sound radiation characteristics, many structures of practical interest may be modelled sufficiently accurately as rectangular, uniform, flat plates. Examples ...

It is generally accepted that ionizing radiation – no matter how low – is a risk to human health. Robert P Crease argues that this notion needs to be examined more carefully Fear factor The idea that ...
