Acoustic Modal Analysis

  • Chapter
Modal Analysis and Testing

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NSSE,volume 363))

Abstract

The phenomena, related to the existence of acoustic modes, were already known in the ancient world and our ancestors, though instinctively, have even exploited some of the acoustic effects [1]. The first treatments of scientific character of the field date back to the 19thcentury [2,3] while the basics of the modal theory of room acoustics were developed in the first half of this century [4–7]. Nevertheless, a revival of the acoustic modal theory and its experimental aspects seems to be worthwhile for a couple of reasons.
