Vibro-Acoustics of Lightweight Sandwich Structures introduces the study of the coupled
vibration and acoustic behavior of lightweight sandwich structures in response to harmonic
force and sound pressure. This book focuses on the theoretical modeling and experimental
investigation of lightweight sandwich structures in order to provide a predictive framework for
vibro-acoustic characteristics of typical engineering structures. Furthermore by developing
solution tools it concentrates on the influence of key systematic parameters leading to
effective guidance for optimal structure design toward lightweight high-stiffness and superior
sound insulation capability. This book is intended for researchers scientists engineers and
graduate students in mechanical engineering especially in structural mechanics mechanics and
acoustics. Fengxian Xin and Tianjian Lu both work at the School of Aerospace Xi'an Jiaotong
University.
