The main theme of this highly successful book is that the
transmission of energy by wave propogation is fundamental to almost
every branch of physics. Therefore, besides giving students a
thorough grounding in the theory of waves and vibrations, the book
also demonstrates the pattern and unity of a large part of physics.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and has been
redeisgned to meet the best contemporary standards. It includes new
material on electron waves in solids using the Kronig-Penney model
to show how their allowed energies are limited to Brillouin zones,
The role of phonons is also discussed. An Optical Transform is used
to demonstrate the modern method of lens testing. In the last two
chapters the sections on chaos and solitons have been reduced but
their essential contents remain.
As with earlier editions, the book has a large number of
problems together with hints on how to solve them. The Physics of
Vibrations and Waves, 6th Edition will prove invaluable for
students taking a first full course in the subject across a variety
of disciplines particularly physics, engineering and
mathematics.
