Wave Scattering by Time-Dependent Perturbations - An Introduction (Hardcover, New): G.F. Roach Wave Scattering by Time-Dependent Perturbations - An Introduction (Hardcover, New)
G.F. Roach
R3,165 Discovery Miles 31 650 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to wave scattering in nonstationary materials. G. F. Roach's aim is to provide an accessible, self-contained resource for newcomers to this important field of research that has applications across a broad range of areas, including radar, sonar, diagnostics in engineering and manufacturing, geophysical prospecting, and ultrasonic medicine such as sonograms.

New methods in recent years have been developed to assess the structure and properties of materials and surfaces. When light, sound, or some other wave energy is directed at the material in question, "imperfections" in the resulting echo can reveal a tremendous amount of valuable diagnostic information. The mathematics behind such analysis is sophisticated and complex. However, while problems involving stationary materials are quite well understood, there is still much to learn about those in which the material is moving or changes over time. These so-called non-autonomous problems are the subject of this fascinating book. Roach develops practical strategies, techniques, and solutions for mathematicians and applied scientists working in or seeking entry into the field of modern scattering theory and its applications.

"Wave Scattering by Time-Dependent Perturbations" is destined to become a classic in this rapidly evolving area of inquiry

Oliver Buhler
R1,061 Discovery Miles 10 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modelling. Indeed, our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book gives a modern account of the nonlinear interactions between waves and mean flows, such as shear flows and vortices. A detailed account of the theory of linear dispersive waves in moving media is followed by a thorough introduction to classical wave-mean interaction theory. The author then extends the scope of the classical theory and lifts its restriction to zonally symmetric mean flows. It can be used as a fundamental reference, a course text, or by geophysicists and physicists needing a first introduction. This second edition includes brand new material, including a section on Langmuir circulations and the Craik-Leibovich instability. The author has also added exercises to aid students' learning.

Die Lehre vom Schall, die Akustik, beschreibt die Vorgange der mechanischen Schwingungen und ihre Ausbreitung in festen, flussigen oder gasfoermigen Stoffen. Im leeren Raum gibt es keinen Schall, weil es die Materieteilchen selbst sind, die schwingen, im Gegensatz etwa zu den Lichtschwingungen oder Hochfrequenz schwingungen, bei denen der elektrische und magnetische Zustand des Raumes an sich schwingt. Durch eine Schallwelle in Luft wird ein kleines Luftvolumen aus seiner Ruhelage heraus hin- und herbewegt, wahrend eine Lichtwelle den Bewegungszustand des Raumes nicht beeinflusst. Unterscheidet man solche mechanischen Bewegungen in Materie, die wenigstens eine zeitlang regelmassig wiederkehren, also periodisch sind, durch die Anzahl der Perioden in der Sekunde voneinander, so koennen wir einen Bereich abgrenzen, in dem sich unser Ohr zum Nachweis eignet: Wir hoeren den Schall, wenn er durch die Luft oder unseren Koerper an unser Ohr gelangt und wenn seine Frequenz weder zu tief noch zu hoch ist. Unter etwa 10 Hz (Hertz, d. h. Schwingungen in der Sekunde) hoeren wir keinen Ton, auch nicht mehr uber etwa 15000 bis 20000 Hz. (Das erstere ist allerdings nur dann richtig, wenn es sich um eine sinusfoermige Schwingung handelt. Andere Formen zerlegt das Ohr in Obertoene, wodurch die Schwingung als Ton- oder Knallfolge hoerbar wird. ) AEhnlich wie man im Bereich der Lichtwellen, die unserem Auge nicht mehr wahrnehmbaren, hoeheren Frequenzen als Ultraviolett bezeichnet, hat man die Schallwellen uber 20000 Hz als Ultraschall abgegrenzt.

Introduction to the Physics of Waves (Paperback, New): Tim Freegarde Introduction to the Physics of Waves (Paperback, New)
Tim Freegarde
R899 Discovery Miles 8 990 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Balancing concise mathematical analysis with the real-world examples and practical applications that inspire students, this textbook provides a clear and approachable introduction to the physics of waves. The author shows through a broad approach how wave phenomena can be observed in a variety of physical situations and explains how their characteristics are linked to specific physical rules, from Maxwell's equations to Newton's laws of motion. Building on the logic and simple physics behind each phenomenon, the book draws on everyday, practical applications of wave phenomena, ranging from electromagnetism to oceanography, helping to engage students and connect core theory with practice. Mathematical derivations are kept brief and textual commentary provides a non-mathematical perspective. Optional sections provide more examples along with higher-level analyses and discussion. This textbook introduces the physics of wave phenomena in a refreshingly approachable way, making it ideal for first- and second-year undergraduate students in the physical sciences.

Oscillations, Waves, and Chaos in Chemical Kinetics (Paperback): Stephen K. Scott Oscillations, Waves, and Chaos in Chemical Kinetics (Paperback)
Stephen K. Scott
R1,061 Discovery Miles 10 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The phenomena of oscillations, travelling waves, and chaos in reacting chemical systems began as curiosities but now support an active, international research field. This book shows how these "exotic" patterns arise from the underlying chemical mechanisms. The origin of "chemical feedback" is revealed using three example reactions: the isolate-reductant (Landolt) reaction, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, and the combustion of hydrogen. Thermal feedback is also discussed. These mechanisms lead to clock reactions and travelling reaction fronts, thermal runaway, and flames; to oscillations and excitability; to target patterns, spiral and scroll waves; to bistability, ignition, extinction, and hysteresis; and to complex oscillations and chaos in flow reactors. These phenomena are related to important processes in biology, including the development of cardiac arrhythmias, nerve signal transmission, and animal coat patterning.

AN AUTHORITATIIVE, UP-TO-DATE INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS

Easy to read and understand, Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics fills a long-standing need for an acoustics text that challenges but does not overpower graduate students in engineering and physics. Mathematical results and physical explanations go hand in hand, and a unique feature of the book is the balance it strikes between time-domain and frequency-domain presentations.

Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics is intended for a two-semester, first-year graduate course, but is also suitable for advanced undergraduates. Emphasis on plane waves in the first part of the book keeps the mathematics simple yet accommodates a broad range of topics: propagation, reflection and transmission, normal modes and simple waveguides for rectilinear geometries, horns, inhomogeneous media, and sound absorption and dispersion.

The second part of the book is devoted to a more rigorous development of the wave equation, spherical and cylindrical waves (including the more advanced mathematics required), advanced waveguides, baffled piston radiation, diffraction (treated in the time domain), and arrays. Applications and examples are drawn from:

  • Atmospheric acoustics
  • Noise control
  • Underwater acoustics
  • Engineering acoustics
  • Acoustical measurements

Supplemented with more than 300 graphs and figures as well as copious end-of-chapter problems, Fundamentals of Physical Acoustics is also an excellent professional reference for engineers and scientists.

The Theory of Sound (Paperback): John William Strutt The Theory of Sound (Paperback)
John William Strutt
R997 Discovery Miles 9 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

John William Strutt, third Baron Rayleigh (1842-1919), was an English physicist best known as the co-discoverer of the element argon, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904. Rayleigh graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1865 and after conducting private research was appointed Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics in 1879, a post which he held until 1884. These highly influential volumes, first published between 1877 and 1878, contain Rayleigh's classic account of acoustic theory. Bringing together contemporary research and his own experiments, Rayleigh clearly describes the origins and transmission of sound waves through different media. This textbook was considered the standard work on the subject for many years and provided the foundations of modern acoustic theory. Volume 2 discusses theories of aerial vibrations, with discussions of experimental procedures of aerial vibrations in tubes and rectangular chambers, and the theory of resonators.
