TitleCrighton, David George: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1986
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationDistinguished for important contributions to linear and nonlinear wave theory in general, and to acoustics in particular. Specifically, one may list: in aeroacoustics (role of large scale turbulent structures, and mechanisms behind "superdirective" acoustic sources); in linear acoustics (diffraction and scattering theory); in nonlinear acoustics (shock wave propagation over large ranges with full inclusion of dissipative and geometrical effects); in structural acoustics (fully coupled structural vibration and fluid motion problems, including characteristics of resonance and forced response, and the isolation of long-range coupling mechanisms in inhomogeneous and periodic elastic structures under heavy fluid loading); and in unsteady fluid-mechanics (edge-tone feedback-cycle).
