This book introduces the history, principle, and design methods of virtual sound barriers first, and then describes recent progress in research on the systems. Two virtual sound barrier systems, i.e., planar virtual sound barrier system and three-dimensional virtual sound barrier system, are discussed including applications, limitations and future direction discussions UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781351168045 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
