SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding resources for solving problems in theoretical acoustics, specifically regarding pressure fields from monopoles, dipoles, and pulsating spheres in both near and far fields. A recommended resource is "Foundations of Engineering Acoustics" by Frank J. Fahy, which includes relevant chapters on these topics. The user expresses frustration with their current book's lack of worked examples, indicating a need for practical applications to better understand the concepts. The community suggests exploring additional books and websites for further learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of theoretical acoustics principles
  • Familiarity with monopoles, dipoles, and pulsating spheres
  • Basic knowledge of pressure fields in acoustics
  • Ability to interpret equations related to acoustics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Foundations of Engineering Acoustics" by Frank J. Fahy for practical examples
  • Explore additional resources on monopole and dipole radiation patterns
  • Study worked examples in theoretical acoustics from academic journals
  • Investigate online courses or tutorials on pressure fields in acoustics
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and professionals in acoustics, particularly those seeking to deepen their understanding of theoretical concepts and practical applications in pressure fields.

Does anyone happen to know of a book or other resource that has solved problems in theoretical acoustics? I am particularily interested in the basics like pressure fields from monopoles, dipoles and pulsating spheres in both the near and far fields. The book I currently own has plenty of equations, but absolutely no worked examples. I know that the numbers I am getting for certain things I am looking at are way too low. I must be doing something wrong, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what.

Any book/web site suggestions?

Thanks!

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
