Elastic Wave Propagation in Structures and Materials initiates with
a brief introduction to wave propagation, different wave equations,
integral transforms including fundamentals of Fourier Transform,
Wavelet Transform, Laplace Transform and their numerical
implementation. Concept of spectral analysis and procedure to
compute the wave parameters, wave propagation in 1-D isotropic
waveguides, wave dispersion in 2-D waveguides is explained. Wave
propagation in different media such as laminated composites,
functionally graded structures, granular soils including non-local
elasticity models is addressed. The entire book is written in
modular form and analysis is performed in frequency domain.
Features: Brings out idea of wave dispersion and its utility in the
dynamic responses. Introduces concepts as Negative Group Speeds,
Einstein's Causality and escape frequencies using solid
mathematical framework. Discusses the propagation of waves in
materials such as laminated composites and functionally graded
materials. Proposes spectral finite element as analysis tool for
wave propagation. Each concept/chapter supported by homework
problems and MATLAB/FORTRAN codes. This book aims at Senior
Undergraduates and Advanced Graduates in all streams of engineering
especially Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
