Updated, revised and restructured, to reflect the latest advances in science and applications, the Fourth Edition of this best-selling industry and research reference covers the fundamental physical acoustics for ultrasonics, transducers, with a focus on piezoelectric and magnetostrictive modalities. It then discusses the full breadth of ultrasonics applications involving low-power (sensing) and high-power (processing) for research, industrial and medical use. The book includes new content covering computer modelling used for acoustic and elastic waves phenomena, including scattering, mode-conversion, transmission through layered media, Rayleigh and Lamb waves and flexural plates, modern horn design tools, Langevin transducers, and material characterization. There is more attention on process monitoring, advanced NDT/NDE, including phased arrays (PAUT), long-range ultrasonics, using guided waves (GUW), internally rotating systems (IRIS), time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) and acoustic emission (AE). These methods are discussed applied to both metals and non-metals, using illustrations in various industries, including for food and beverage products. The topics of defect sizing, capabilities and limitations, including probability of detection (POD), are introduced. Three chapters provide a new treatment of high-power ultrasonics, for both fluids and solids, and again, with industrial engineering, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical and other process applications. Expanded coverage is given to medical and biological applications, covering diagnostics, therapy and, at the highest powers, surgery. · Provides an overview of fundamental analysis and transducer technologies needed to design and develop both measurement and processing systems. · Considers applications in material characterization and metrology. · Covers ultrasonic nondestructive testing and evaluation and high-power ultrasonics, which involves interactions that change the state of material · Highlights medical and biomedical applications of ultrasound, focusing on the physical acoustics and the technology employed for diagnosis, therapy, surgery, and research. This book is intended for both the undergraduate and graduate scientist and engineer, as well as the working professional, who seeks to understand the fundamentals, together with a holistic treatment of the field of ultrasonics and its diversity of applications.

Leonard Bond Chapman, son of Henry and Hannah (Bond) Chapman, was born on his father's farm on Congress Street in Stroudwater Village in the town of Deering, Maine (now known as Portland). Here he listened to stories about his ancestors and other early settlers, and these stories sparked a lifelong interest in local history and genealogy. Mr. Chapman was the publisher of the newspaper, The Deering News during the late 1800s and early 1900s. His most enduring legacy was "Grandpa's Scrapbook," an article published as a regular column in this newspaper. This book includes a large portion of the published Scrapbook articles. Some have been omitted because the process of mechanical printing for the original newspaper left some articles unreadable. The surviving articles should provide today's researcher with a refreshing look into the local history and genealogies of Portland, Westbrook and Scarborough, Maine. This book includes a section on the descendants of Edward Chapman from 1644 up to the mid-1800s, photographs of Chapman's home and gravesite, and a combined full-name plus subject index.
