The book may be viewed as an introduction to time-hadronic waves in dissipative bodies, notably viscoelastic solids and fluids. The inhomogeneity of the waves, which is due to the fact that planes of constant phase are not parallel to planes of constant amplitude, is shown to be strictly related to the dissipativity of the medium. A preliminary analysis is performed of the propagation of inhomogeneous waves in unbounded media and of reflection and refraction at plane interfaces. Then emphasis is given to those features that are of significance for applications. In essence, they regard surface waves, scattering by (curved) obstacles, wave propagation in layered heterogeneous media, ray methods. The pertinent mathematical techniques are discussed so as to make the book reasonably self-contained.
Industry Reviews
"The book offers a well planned, systematic development of the theory of propagation of inhomogeneous waves in dissipative and prestressed media. The importance of thermodynamic conditions to the propagation characteristics has been emphasized. Readers will find a wealth of information on advanced research materials in the book due to its inclusions of many applications from various applied disciplines e.g., seismology, NDE, and ocean acoustics." Mathematics Abstracts "... timely and useful. Indeed, as far as I know, this is the first book on inhomogeneous plane waves in solids and fluids." Mathematical Reviews
