Abstract

This chapter will extend the results from Chapter 10 by using more advanced analytical methods for calculating acoustical quantities such as mutual radiation impedance. Before fast computers were available some of the results obtained by analytical methods had limited usefulness when they were expressed as slowly converging infinite series or integrals that required numerical evaluation. Now such series and integrals can be evaluated more easily. In some cases the analytical methods give more physical insight, or can be reduced to a simpler form, than the strictly numerical methods.
