Written at an intermediate level in a way that is easy to
understand, Fundamentals and Applications of Ultrasonic Waves,
Second Edition provides an up-to-date exposition of ultrasonics and
some of its main applications. Designed specifically for newcomers
to the field, this fully updated second edition emphasizes
underlying physical concepts over mathematics. The first half
covers the fundamentals of ultrasonic waves for isotropic media.
Starting with bulk liquid and solid media, discussion extends to
surface and plate effects, at which point the author introduces new
modes such as Rayleigh and Lamb waves. This focus on only isotropic
media simplifies the usually complex mathematics involved, enabling
a clearer understanding of the underlying physics to avoid the
complicated tensorial description characteristic of crystalline
media. The second part of the book addresses a broad spectrum of
industrial and research applications, including quartz crystal
resonators, surface acoustic wave devices, MEMS and microacoustics,
and acoustic sensors. It also provides a broad discussion on the
use of ultrasonics for non-destructive evaluation. The author
concentrates on the developing area of microacoustics, including
exciting new work on the use of probe microscopy techniques in
nanotechnology. Focusing on the physics of acoustic waves, as well
as their propagation, technology, and applications, this book
addresses viscoelasticity, as well as new concepts in acoustic
microscopy. It updates coverage of ultrasonics in nature and
developments in sonoluminescence, and it also compares new
technologies, including use of atomic force acoustic microscopy and
lasers. Highlighting both direct and indirect applications for
readers working in neighboring disciplines, the author presents
particularly important sections on the use of microacoustics and
acoustic nanoprobes in next-generation devices and instruments.
