More DescriptionWaves 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.The book begins with fundamental concepts of motion and then discusses linear and nonlinear mechanical waves, thermodynamics, and constitutive models for a variety of gases, liquids, and solids. Among the relevant areas of research and application are impact analysis, shock wave research, nonlinear acoustics, and hypersonic aerodynamics.
