The technology of acoustical imaging has advanced rapidly over
the last sixty years, and now represents a sophisticated technique
applied to a wide range of fields including non-destructive
testing, medical imaging, underwater imaging and SONAR, and
geophysical exploration. "Acoustical Imaging: Techniques and
Applications for Engineers" introduces the basic physics of
acoustics and acoustical imaging, before progressing to more
advanced topics such as 3D and 4D imaging, elasticity theory, gauge
invariance property of acoustic equation of motion and acoustic
metamaterials. The author draws together the different technologies
in sonar, seismic and ultrasound imaging, highlighting the
similarities between topic areas and their common underlying
theory.
Key features: Comprehensively covers all of the important
applications of acoustical imaging.Introduces the gauge invariance
property of acoustic equation of motion, with applications in the
elastic constants of isotropic solids, time reversal acoustics,
negative refraction, double negative acoustical metamaterial and
acoustical cloaking.Contains up to date treatments on latest
theories of sound propagation in random media, including
statistical treatment and chaos theory.Includes a chapter devoted
to new acoustics based on metamaterials, a field founded by the
author, including a new theory of elasticity and new theory of
sound propagation in solids and fluids and tremendous potential in
several novel applications.
Covers the hot topics on acoustical imaging including time
reversal acoustics, negative refraction and acoustical
cloaking.
"Acoustical Imaging: Techniques and Applications for" Engineers
is a comprehensive reference on acoustical imaging and forms a
valuable resource for engineers, researchers, senior undergraduate
and graduate students.
