Acoustical Physics

Aims & Scope

Acoustical Physics is an international peer reviewed journal published with the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

It covers theoretical and experimental aspects of basic and applied acoustics: classical problems of linear acoustics and wave theory; nonlinear acoustics; physical acoustics; ocean acoustics and hydroacoustics; atmospheric and aeroacoustics; acoustics of structurally inhomogeneous solids; geological acoustics; acoustical ecology, noise and vibration; chamber acoustics, musical acoustics; acoustic signals processing, computer simulations; acoustics of living systems, biomedical acoustics; physical principles of engineering acoustics.

The journal publishes critical reviews, original articles, short communications, and letters to the editor.

It covers theoretical and experimental aspects of basic and applied acoustics.

The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
