Wave Momentum and Quasi-Particles in Physical Acoustics

by Gerard a Maugin, Martine Rousseau, Gerard A Maugin

This unique volume presents an original approach to physical acoustics with additional emphasis on the most useful surface acoustic waves on solids. The study is based on foundational work of L on Brillouin, and application of the celebrated invariance theorem of Emmy Noether to an element of volume that is representative of the wave motion.This approach provides an easy interpretation of typical wave motions of physical acoustics in bulk, at surfaces,...
