Sommario/riassunto

Powering the astounding functional advancement of mobile devices requires a revolution in the concept of battery life and recharge capability. This book provides insight into the principles and technical challenges behind automatically optimizing energy consumption in a dynamic real-time scenario. It discusses the continuous monitoring of battery life and the automatic adjustment of different functionalities including the reception mechanism, the complexity of the software modules, and the perceived video quality. It deals with different energy scavenging techniques and the technologies behind harvesting energy through sources like solar, light, acoustics, kinetic, mechanical vibrations, and electromagnetic waves--

Sommario/riassunto

Noise and Vibration affects all kinds of engineering structures, and is fast becoming an integral part of engineering courses at universities and colleges around the world. In this second edition, Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to take into account recent developments in the field. Much of the new material has been provided by Denis Karczub, who joins Michael as second author for this edition. This book treats both noise and vibration in a single volume, with particular emphasis on wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. There are numerous case studies, test cases, and examples for students to work through. The book is primarily intended as a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, but is also a valuable reference for researchers and professionals looking to gain an overview of the field.
