SYNOPSIS
The need for accurate acoustical predictions for environments such as vehicles, aircraft, and industrial plants, together with an increasing concern for the natural environment, has led to considerable developments in modeling and experimental measurements in acoustics in recent years. This volume contains 38 papers representing some of those developments presented at a 2003 international conference on in Cadiz, Spain. Brebbia (Wessex Institute of Technology, UK), Almorza, and Hernandez (both U. of Cadiz, Spain) edit topics including an acoustic map of Pamplona, Spain, with percentile of people affected by environmental noise; integration of experimental models in real-time virtual car sound engineering environment; and an exploration of vibration during interaction with polarized texture.
