Short description:

Elastic wave propagation applies widely across engineering. This presents continuum mechanics, stress and strain tensors, and the derivation of equations for elastic wave motions with Green?s function. The MUSIC algorithm is used to address inverse scattering problems, and the companion website provides software with detailed solutions.

Long description:

Elastic wave propagation applies to a wide variety of fields, including seismology, non-destructive testing, energy resource exploration, and site characterization. New applications for elastic waves are still being discovered. Theory of Elastic Wave Propagation and its Application to Scattering Problems starts from the standpoint of continuum mechanics, explaining stress and strain tensors in terms of mathematics and physics, and showing the derivation of equations for elastic wave motions, to give readers a stronger foundation. It emphasizes the importance of Green?s function for applications of the elastic wave equation to practical engineering problems and covers elastic wave propagation in a half-space, in addition to the spectral representation of Green?s function. Finally, the MUSIC algorithm is used to address inverse scattering problems.



  • Offers comprehensive coverage of fundamental concepts through to contemporary applications of elastic wave propagation

  • Bridges the gap between theoretical principles and practical engineering solutions


The book?s website provides the author?s software for analyzing elastic wave propagations, along with detailed answers to the problems presented, to suit graduate students across engineering and applied mathematics.
