Abstract
THIS volume, as the author states in his preface, does not profess to contain anything not already known, but is a more or less classified account of the work of various experimenters on the subject of which it treats. Beginning with a useful but not complete bibliography, and a note on the problems to be investigated, later chapters treat of “annoying” vibrations and their amplitude; the means and apparatus which have been used to measure them, the vibrations of buildings, bridges, and other structures; means of damping vibration, the transmission and isolation of noise; and ending with an account of balancing machines, i.e. machines for determining whether, and how much, any revolving part is out of statical or dynamical balance.
The Prevention of Vibration and Noise.
By A. B. Eason. (Oxford Technical Publications.) Pp. xii + 163. (London: H. Frowde and Hodder and Stoughton, 1923.) 15s. net.
