The study of wave propagation seems very remote to many engineers,
even to those who are involved in structural dynamics. I think one
of the reasons for this is that the examples usually taught in
school were either so simple as to be inapplicable to real world
problems, or so mathematically abstruse as to be intractable. This
book contains an approach, spectral analysis, that I have found to
be very effective in analyzing waves. What has struck me most about
this approach is how I can use the same analytic framework to do
predictions as well as to manipulate experimental data. As an
experimentalist, I had found it very frustrating having my
analytical tools incompatible with my experiments. For example, it
is experimentally impos sible to generate a step-function wave and
yet that is the type of analytical solution available. Spectral
analysis is very encompassing - it touches on analysis, numerical
meth ods, and experimental methods. I wanted this book to do
justice to its versatility, so many subjects are introduced. As a
result some areas may seem a little thin and I regret this. But I
do hope, nonetheless, that the bigger picture, the unity, comes
across. To encourage you to try the spectral analysis approach I
have included complete source code listings to some of the computer
programs mentioned in the text."
