Laermerzeugung Von Habschraubern Unter Besonderer Berucksichtigung Des Heckrotors
by Rolf Staufenbiel
In dieser Arbeit werden die Mechanismen der Uirmerzeugung bei Hubschrauberheck- rotor en und die wichtigsten EinfluBgroBen untersucht. Durch die StOrung der AnstromverhaItnisse kommt es zu einer stark erhOhten Schallabstrahlung des Rotors. Als StOrung der Heckrotoranstromung wirken die Randwirbel des Hauptrotors und sein Abwindfeld. Eine weitere Storquelle fUr die Anstromung ist das Seitenleitwerk des Hubschraubers. Die Wirkungen dieser StOrungen auf die Uirmerzeugung wurden experimentell und th...
This book describes the entire process of designing guitars, including the theory and guidelines for implementing it in practice. It discusses areas from acoustics and resonators to new tools and how they assist traditional construction techniques. The book begins by discussing the fundamentals of the sounds of a guitar, strings, and oscillating systems. It then moves on to resonators and acoustics within the guitar, explaining the analysis systems and evaluation methods, and comparing classic...
Nonlinear Acoustics at the Turn of the Millennium (AIP Conference Proceedings, v.524)
Acoustic waves of high amplitude explore the nonlinearity of the medium they propagate in. Acousticians from all over the world discussed the special phenomena thereby brought about in gases, liquids, and solids. They range from shock waves, the rupture of liquids (cavitation), cleaning, cooling, light from sound and sound from light, to chemical synthesis, kidney stone destruction and hemostasis (stopping of bleeding by sound). Topics inluded are: nonlinear wave propagation, wave scattering and...
Frontiers in Surface Nanophotonics (Springer Series in Optical Sciences, #133) (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #47)
This book explores the role of surface effects in optical phenomena in nanoscience, from two different perspectives. When systems are reduced in volume, the ratio of surface versus volume increases. At the level of single nanostructures this translates into an enhanced role of interfacial chemistry and thermodynamics. At the level of systems of nanostructures, it translates into larger density on interfaces, which in turn leads to such intriguing collective effects as plasmonics or multiple refl...

For each of these topics, some of the...
High Frequency Ocean Acoustics (AIP Conference Proceedings, v.728)
All papers were peer-reviewed. Sound in the ocean is as fundamental as light in theatmosphere. The high-frequency acoustic band has been little studied in the past; however, new applications such as mine hunting, marine mammal tracking, and communications (the undersea internet) have generated tremendous interest. These peer-reviewed proceedings include 8 invited papers by leading experts in particular areas and collectively survey all aspects of current research in high-frequency acoustics.
This comprehensive book deals with feedback and feedback amplifiers, presenting original material on the topic of feedback circuits. After describing the fundamental properties of feedback, the book illustrates techniques of analysis for greater insight into feedback amplifiers and design strategies to optimise their performance.
Acoustic Metamaterials and Phononic Crystals (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, #173)
This comprehensive book presents all aspects of acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals. The emphasis is on acoustic wave propagation phenomena at interfaces such as refraction, especially unusual refractive properties and negative refraction. A thorough discussion of the mechanisms leading to such refractive phenomena includes local resonances in metamaterials and scattering in phononic crystals.
