Abstract

The 42nd Scandinavian Symposium on Physical Acoustics was held at Geilo, Norway from January 27 to January 30, 2019. It was arranged by the Acoustics and Optics group of the Norwegian Physical Society, and was coordinated by Geir Pedersen and Lars Hoff. The symposium gathered 52 registered participants, holding a total of 31 presentations covering various topics and applications of physical acoustics, such as underwater acoustics, medical ultrasound, industrial NDT/NDE, waves in solids, and flow acoustics. In addition, a group of 7 fresh master students from UiO, USN and UiB gave shorter talks introducing their projects. After the symposium, 3 of these presentations were submitted as papers to these proceedings.
