Since the publication of the first edition, considerable progress has been made in the development and application of active noise control (ANC) systems, particularly in the propeller aircraft and automotive industries. Treating the active control of both sound and vibration in a unified way, this second edition of Active Control of Noise and Vibration continues to combine coverage of fundamental principles with the most recent theoretical and practical developments. What’s New in This Edition <ul>
<li>Revised, expanded, and updated information in every chapter</li> <li>Advances in feedforward control algorithms, DSP hardware, and applications</li> <li>Practical application examples of active control of noise propagating in ducts</li> <li>The use of a sound intensity cost function, model reference control, sensing radiation modes, modal filtering, and a comparison of the effectiveness of various sensing strategies</li> <li>New material on feedback control of sound transmission into enclosed spaces</li> <li>New material on model uncertainty, experimental determination of the system model, optimization of the truncated model, collocated actuators and sensors, biologically inspired control, and a discussion of centralised versus de-centralised control</li> <li>A completely revised chapter on control system implementation</li> <li>New material on parametric array loudspeakers, turbulence filtering, and virtual sensing</li> <li>More material on smart structures, electrorheological fluids, and magnetorheological fluids</li>
</ul>
Integrating the related disciplines of active noise control and active vibration control, this comprehensive two-volume set explains how to design and implement successful active control systems in practice. It also details the pitfalls one must avoid to ensure a reliable and stable system.

Have you ever had a relationship so powerful that it haunted you when it was over? For Laura Brooks, a relationship she had in college continues to affect her life as a grown woman, professor, and mother of three. Laura and Nick shared a brief and intense romantic relationship that ended when Laura graduated from college. A few years later, Nick committed suicide, leaving Laura to wonder about a relationship that could never exist. Things become even more complicated when she develops the same connection with a living man who is as elusive as her ghost. Maybe, like Laura, you have experienced a love so strong that you find it hard to let go. You may wonder why you continue to hang on to the feelings left by a relationship that is over. Why would you continue to feel connected to a person who is no longer in your life? Throughout this book, Laura faces her ghost and follows a journey to determine why he still haunts her. Along the way she follows cues from the universe that help her to appreciate her continuing connection to this man. The journey is one that we all make at some point because love never seems to come at the right time or in the form we want. My Ghost tells the love story of the entire human race and helps us understand why we remain connected to people who have left our lives. It explores the concepts of soul mates, synchronicity, and unconditional love.

From the old-world charm of ancient windmills to the stark graphic beauty of modern wind turbines, here is a gorgeous collection of dramatic and intriguing views of these time-honored structures. With exquisite images on nearly every page, this unique volume celebrates not only the windmill, but the time and the world it represents. See why no two windmills are alike, and the reasons for these differences, from the spare ascetic versions popular in the North and South American plains to the old European towers of Holland. Explore the windmill's form, function, and styles; their interiors, through diagrams; the milling life; the literary windmill (including its most renowned use in Don Quixote); windmills on land and sea; in different parts of the world; and even windmills of the future.

Where else could you discover so many enchanting worlds so close together? Through awe-inspiring pictures and text, compare many Greek island cultures: pagan temples next to Byzantine churches; healing Roman springs above lively seaside fishing villages; ancient working grain windmills beside Minoan ruins. Start the trip in the more populated islands of Crete, Cyprus, and Rhodes, then explore remote chains like the Cyclades, Ionia, and the Dodecanese. Still to come: 130 uninhabited islands. Other stops along your storied path: the route of The Iliad and The Odyssey; the site where Helios watched Rhodes rise from the sea; Aphrodite's beach; the Birthplace of Zeus. Although conquered over the centuries by Greece, Rome, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire, the islands in this armchair tour will win your heart, not by conquest, but by seduction.
