The edge is that small line between excellence and mediocrity, that
little extra something that pushes you to a different level in
life. Education and intelligent thinking can often provide the
edge. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity, so we have no choice but to
find the edge if we wish to distinguish ourselves in life. Seeking
the Edge seeks to provide the tools and techniques to find that
edge in your life. Whether it is an education, a new career,
family, or even hobbies, we must shoot for the stars The life
lessons of author Joseph Rose, the "storytelling professor," offer
tips and lessons on building character, seeking opportunities,
being prepared, and learning from past experiences. The journey can
make it tough to find the end of the rainbow, but we must always
keep our eyes, ears, and minds open to experience the small
successes and joys along the way. Seeking the Edge will help you
learn, appreciate, and grasp the opportunities that can lead to the
real success stories of your life. Keep climbing despite hardship,
pain, and discouragement-there will be an awakening in your life.
Dream and set goals Be determined, persistent, and confident, and
enjoy the moments along the path to success, happiness, and
self-satisfaction. Don't ever give up; seek the edge
Ultrasonic guided waves in solid media have become a critically
important subject in nondestructive testing and structural health
monitoring, as new faster, more sensitive, and more economical ways
of looking at materials and structures have become possible. This
book will lead to fresh creative ideas for use in new inspection
procedures. Although the mathematics is sometimes sophisticated,
the book can also be read by managers without detailed
understanding of the concepts as it can be read from a 'black box'
point of view. Overall, the material presented on wave mechanics -
in particular, guided wave mechanics - establishes a framework for
the creative data collection and signal processing needed to solve
many problems using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation and
structural health monitoring. The book can be used as a reference
in ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation by professionals and as a
textbook for seniors and graduate students. This work extends the
coverage of Rose's earlier book Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media.
Ultrasonic wave techniques are used increasingly in areas ranging
from non-destructive inspection of materials to medical diagnosis.
This book brings together basic physics and modern applications. It
explains the physical principles of wave propagation and then
relates them to ultrasonic wave mechanics and the more recent
guided wave techniques that are used to inspect and evaluate
aircraft, power plants, and pipelines in chemical processing
plants. Among topics covered are wave propagation in plates, rods,
hollow cylinders, and multiple layers in solid and composite
materials; reflection and refraction; surface and subsurface waves;
and horizontal shear wave propagation. Appendices provide
background information on ultrasonic non-destructive testing,
elasticity theory, and complex variables, and key wave propagation
experiments. The text is amplified with numerous examples,
laboratory experiments, and homework exercises. Graduate students,
researchers, and practising engineers will find Ultrasonic Waves in
Solid Media an invaluable reference to this active field.
