Fundamentals of Sound and Vibration
暫譯: 聲音與振動基礎

本書由 University of Southampton 的 Institute of Sound and Vibration Research 編寫，以淺顯易懂的方式介紹聲音與振動主要元素的物理、數學及技術基礎。全書將聲學、振動與訊號處理整合於單一冊中，內容程度適合研究生。

Frank Fahy retired in 1997 from his post of professor of engineering acoustics in the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) of the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. Professor Fahy played a major role in the development and standardization of the means of measuring the magnitude and direction of energy flow in sound fields (sound intensity), which have greatly improved our ability to locate, distinguish and quantify individual sources of noise in the presence of other sources. He is also the author of five textbooks and monographs on sound and vibration and the coeditor of six others.

David Thompson

is professor of railway noise and vibration at the ISVR and head of the Dynamics Group at the University of Southampton. He graduated from Cambridge in mathematics and has a PhD from ISVR. Prior to returning to ISVR in 1996, he worked at British Rail Research in Derby, United Kingdom and Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek in the Netherlands. His research covers railway noise and vibration, and makes use of a wide variety of analytical, numerical and experimental techniques for vibration and acoustics. He has published over 100 papers and one book.

Frank Fahy 於 1997 年從英國南安普敦大學聲音與振動研究所（Institute of Sound and Vibration Research，ISVR）工程聲學教授一職退休。Fahy 教授在開發與標準化測量聲場中能量流動大小與方向（聲強，sound intensity）的方法方面扮演了重要角色，這些方法大幅提升了我們在其他噪音源存在的情況下，定位、區分及量化個別噪音源的能力。他也是五本聲音與振動教科書及專著的作者，並共同編輯了另外六本著作。

David Thompson 是 ISVR 的鐵路噪音與振動教授，也是南安普敦大學 Dynamics Group 的主管。他畢業於 Cambridge，主修數學，並取得 ISVR 的 PhD。在 1996 年返回 ISVR 之前，他曾任職於英國德比的 British Rail Research，以及荷蘭的 Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek。他的研究涵蓋鐵路噪音與振動，並運用各種分析、數值與實驗技術來研究振動與聲學。他已發表超過 100 篇論文，並出版一本著作。
