Stress Waves in Solids

Book Description
Readable survey of the theoretical core of the propagation of waves in solids offers a concise account of the classical theory, considers how this theory has been extended to solids that are not perfectly elastic, and summarizes important experimental work. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Propagation in an Extended Elastic Medium. 3. Propagation in Bounded Elastic Media. 4. Experimental Investigations with Elastic Materials. 5. Internal Friction. 6. Experimental Investigation of Dynamic Elastic Properties. 7. Plastic Waves and Shock Waves. 8. Fractures Produced by Stress Waves. Appendix. Table of Numerical Values. References. Author Index. Subject Index. Unabridged republication of the 1963 edition. 46 Figures.
