Technological developments in composite materials, non-destructive
testing, and signal processing as well as biomedical applications,
have stimulated wide-ranging engineering investigations of
heterogeneous, anisotropic media and surface waves of different
types. Wave propagation in solids is now of considerable importance
in a variety of applications. The book presents many of the key
results in this field and interprets them from a unified
engineering viewpoint. The conceptual importance and relevance for
applications were the prevailing criteria in selecting the topics.
Included are body and surface waves in elastic, viscoelastic, and
piezoelectric media and waveguides, with emphasis on the effects of
inhomogeneity and anisotropy. The book differs in many aspects from
the other monographs dealing with wave propagation in solids. It
focuses on physically meaningful theoretical models, a broad
spectrum of which is covered, and not on mathematical techniques.
Some of the results, particularly those dealing with waves in
composites, are given for the first time in the monographical
literature. Both, exact and approximate approaches, are discussed.
While the subject is advanced, the presentation is at an
intermediate level of mathematical complexity, making understanding
easier.
