Applied Underwater Acoustics

Applied Underwater Acoustics meets the needs of engineers and scientists working in underwater acoustics and graduate students solving problems in, and composing theses on, topics in underwater acoustics. The is structured to give the basis for rapidly assimilating the vital underwater acoustic knowledge base for practical application to everyday research and analysis.Every chapter of the is self-supporting and emphasizes on a single topic and its association to underwater acoustics. The chapters begin with a brief description of the topic?s physical background, necessary definitions, and a short explanation of the applications, along with an outline to the chapter. The subtopics covered within each subchapter include the most frequently used equations that explain the topic. Equations are not derived, instead, assumptions behind equations and limitations on the applications of each equation are focused. Tables, figures, and illustrations related to the sub-topic are shown in an easy-to-use manner, and instances on the use of the equations, including appropriate tables and figures are also included.NOTE: The product only includes Applied Underwater Acoustics.
