Introduction to Elastic Wave Propagation
This revised and updated edition expands on its explanations of methods used to analyze waves in solid materials, such as the waves created by earthquakes and the ultrasonic waves used to detect flaws in materials and for medical diagnoses. In addition to the traditional methods...
Introduction to Elastic Wave Propagation
Earthquakes are detected and studied by measuring the waves they create. Waves are transmitted through the Earth to detect oil and gas deposits and to study the Earth's geological structure. Properties of materials are determined by measuring the behaviour of waves transmitted...
Introduction to Elastic Wave Propagation
Presents the linear theory of elasticity culminating in the displacement equations of motion. Analyzes one-dimensional waves through the d'Alembert solution and the method of characteristics. Discusses transient waves, analytical methods in nonlinear wave propagation, and includes...
