Acoustic absorbers and diffusers: theory, design and application (Third edition.)

This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers in acoustics.

All chapters have been revised and brought up to date in this edition, with new applications, absorbers and diffusers featured.

Sustainability, portable vocal booths, and fast time domain models for diffusers are just a few of the new sections.

Improved techniques for measurement and prediction are included, as well as bringing old methods up-to-date with the latest refinements from standards and research.

Most of the prediction methods in the book are now linked to open source implementations and downloadable MATLAB scripts, enabling readers to exploit the knowledge in this book more readily in design and research.
