Description
The propagation of mechanical disturbances in solids is of interest in many branches of the physical scienses and engineering. This book
aims to present an account of the theory of wave propagation in elastic solids. The material is arranged to present an exposition of
the basic concepts of mechanical wave propagation within a one-dimensional setting and a discussion of formal aspects of elastodynamic
theory in three dimensions, followed by chapters expounding on typical wave propagation phenomena, such as radiation, reflection, refraction,
propagation in waveguides, and diffraction. The treatment necessarily involves considerable mathematical analysis. The pertinent mathematical
techniques are, however, discussed at some length.
