Noise and vibration are known to have adverse physiological and psychological effects as well as their deleterious consequences for engineering concerns as disparate as signal quality and ride comfort. This text shows you how to analyse and design control systems from an engineering perspective. This approach teaches you to predict the performance of a system in advance, reducing the empirical aspects of design. Your skills in dealing with noise and vibration will develop from fixed digital control through self-tuning adaptive control to the incorporation of neural networks and genetic algorithms within a single intelligent control framework. The associated software based on Matlab(R)/Simulink(R) and available on-line allows you to simulate noise and vibration patterns in different media and then to realise and assess your own control designs. An essential study aid for graduate students of systems and control engineering, signal processing, communications, acoustics and vibration.
