Acoustics of Layered Media II presents the theory of sound
propagation and reflection of spherical waves and bounded beams in
layered media. It is mathematically rigorous but at the same time
care is taken that the physical usefulness in applications and the
logic of the theory are not hidden. Both moving and stationary
media, discretely and continuously layered, including a
range-dependent environment, are treated for various types of
acoustic wave sources. Detailed appendices provide further
background on the mathematical methods.
This second edition reflects the notable recent progress in the
field of acoustic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media.

The theory of the propagation of plane sound waves in layered structures is presented systematically in this book. The layered structures may be man-made, for example ultrasonic filters, lenses, and surface-wave delay lines, or natural media such as the ocean and the atmosphere with their marked horizontal stratification. A related problem is the propagation of elastic (seismic) waves in the earth's crust. The book retains many features and the general structure of the classic work "Waves in Layered Media" by L.M. Brekhovskikh, but also includes much new material that has not previously been treated in a monograph. Great attention is paid throughout to the physical interpretation of the results obtained. Although the subject of the book is acoustic waves, many of the interesting phenomena can be directly generalized to electromagnetic waves.
Mechanics of Continua and Wave Dynamics is a textbook for a course
on the mechanics of solids and fluids with the emphasis on wave
theory. The material is presented with simplicity and clarity but
also with mathematical rigor. Many wave phenomena, especially those
of geophysical nature (different types of waves in the ocean,
seismic waves in the earth crust, wave propagation in the
atmosphere, etc.), are considered. Each subject is introduced with
simple physical concepts using numerical examples and models. The
treatment then goes into depth and complicated aspects are
illustrated by appropriate generalizations. Numerous exercises with
solutions will help students to comprehend and assimilate the
ideas.
