Abstract

The principles of acoustic and vibroacoustic reciprocity are explained. Examples are then given of applications of acoustic reciprocity to the experimental analysis of sound radiation by various systems of interest to noise control engineers. The final part of the paper is devoted to a presentation of examples of the practical application of Lyamshev reciprocity to problems of identifying and quantifying sources of noise that operate in a variety of engineering systems.
