Wave Propagation in Elastic Solids focuses on linearized theory and perfectly elastic media. This book discusses the one-dimensional motion of an elastic contin
The most readable survey of the theoretical core of current knowledge available. The author gives a concise account of the classical theory necessary to an unde
The propagation of mechanical disturbances in solids is of interest in many branches of the physical scienses and engineering. This book aims to present an acco
This book addresses the modelling of mechanical waves by asking the right questions about them and trying to find suitable answers. The questions follow the ana
