Final Technical Program for NOISE-CON 97

The papers marked with an asterisk (*) following the paper number have been published in the Conference Proceedings
WELCOME TO NOISE-CON 97

    The papers presented at NOISE-CON 97 reflect the state-of-the-art of noise control engineering and show the development trends that will take us into the next century.
    Since the founding of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering (INCE) twenty-five years ago, noise control engineering has been transformed from the simple application of acoustical principles into a modern sophisticated technology that combines acoustical principles with signal processing, computer engineering, and electronic technology. This is reflected by the theme of the conference, Frontiers of Noise Control. I would like to acknowledge the substantial contributions and efforts of the four Technical Program co-chairmen who organized the four distinct areas of the Frontiers: Scott D. Sommerfeldt, Active Control of Sound and Vibration; David C. Swanson, Vibration Analysis for Machinery Health Monitoring; Victor W. Sparrow, Numerical Methods for Noise Control Engineering; and Courtney B. Burroughs, who organized the General Topics and also edited one book of the Proceedings.
    To continue the past tradition, the second book of the Proceedings, edited by Scott D. Sommerfeldt, contains full-length papers on active control of sound and vibration.
    I would also like to express my special thanks and gratitude to George Maling, the Managing Director of INCE, for his dedication and tireless efforts to provide broad and substantial assistance on all NOISE-CON matters and actions.
    In its twenty-five year history, INCE has proven its overall leadership role by providing a platform for engineers and scientists dedicated to research and development of the general principles and applications of noise control technology. The cooperation and the membership overlap between the Acoustical Society of America and The Institute of Noise Control engineering over the past twenty five years has been extensive. To further enhance this interaction both Societies decided to organize a joint meeting.
    All of the NOISE-CON sessions which are being held on Sunday in the Nittany Lion Inn have been organized by INCE. A NOISE-CON 97 plenary session will be held on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. It will be followed by a reception and a dinner commemorating the 25th anniversary of the initiation of INCE operations (dinner tickets are required).
    The joint meeting, which will continue on Monday and Tuesday in the Penn State Conference Center, consists of sessions organized by INCE as well as joint sessions with ASA which were co-organized with the ASA Technical Committees on Noise, Architectural Acoustics, Signal Processing, and Structural Acoustics as well as the ASA Committee on Education in Acoustics. A joint exhibition of equipment and computer software with twenty-eight exhibitors will open on Monday afternoon and continue through Wednesday.
    I hope that you will enjoy this unique meeting and the opportunity to attend the ASA conference.
