Acoustic Properties of Absorbing Materials

<p>Thanks to the progress made in materials research and to the introduction of innovative manufacturing technologies a wide range of sound-absorbing elements are currently available to adjust the acoustic features of an environment. Nowadays performance is only one of the required specifications together with environmental compatibility longevity and affordable cost. This book collects the most recent advances in the broad-spectrum characterization of sound-absorbing materials used in civil industrial and tertiary applications by means of experimental numerical or theoretical studies.</p>
