جزییات کتاب
Waves occur widely in nature and have innumerable commercial uses. Waves are responsible for the sound of speech, meteors igniting the atmosphere, radio and television broadcasting, medical diagnosis using ultrasound. This book provides a thorough, modern introduction to the study of linear and nonlinear waves. Beginning with fundamental concepts of motion, the book goes on to discuss linear and nonlinear mechanical waves, thermodynamics, and constitutive models for a variety of gases, liquids, and solids. Among the important areas of research and application are impact analysis, shock wave research, explosive detonation, nonlinear acoustics, and hypersonic aerodynamics. Students at an advanced undergraduate/graduate level will find this text a clear and comprehensive introduction to the study of nonlinear wave phenomena, and it will also be valuable as a professional reference in engineering and applied physics ''Waves occur widely in nature and have innumerable commercial uses. Pressure waves are responsible for the sound of speech, bow waves created by meteors can virtually ignite the earth's atmosphere, ultrasonic waves are used for medical imaging, and shock waves are used for the synthesis of new materials.'' ''Beginning with fundamental concepts of motion, the book goes on to discuss linear and nonlinear mechanical waves, thermodynamics, and constitutive models. In contrast to many classic works, which were limited to nonlinear waves in gases, this text also includes liquids and solids as integral parts of the subject. Among the important areas of research and application that will benefit from this text are impact analysis, shock wave research, explosive detonation, nonlinear acoustics, and hypersonic aerodynamics.'' ''Students at an advanced undergraduate/graduate level will find this text a clear and comprehensive introduction to the study of wave phenomena, and it will also be a valuable professional reference for engineers and applied physicists.''--BOOK JACKET.
