Product Description
This in-depth quantitative assessment of seismic observations over the entire spectral range of recorded wave phenomena covers more than 160 years in the history of seismology. From first principles to modern developments, it presents a comprehensive, rigorous, and lucid account of the propagation of elastic waves in the earth. Well illustrated with figures, tables, and solved examples. 1981 ed. Preface. Seismology-Milestones of Progress. Appendixes. Author Index. Subject Index.

	Acoustic Fields and Waves in Solids, 2 Vol. Set by B. A. Auld (Author) Volume One begins with a systematic development of basic concepts (strain, stress, stiffness and compliance, viscous clamping) and coordinate transformations in both tensor and matrix notation. The basic elastic field equations are then written in a form analogous to Maxwell's equations. This analogy is then pursued when analyzing wave propagation in both isotropic and anisotropic solids. Piezoelectricity and bulk wave transducers are treated in the final chapter. Appendixes list slowness...

	Wave Fields in Real Media, Volume 38, Second Edition: Wave Propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous and Electromagnetic Media (Handbook of Geophysical Exploration: Seismic Exploration) by J. Jose M. Carcione (Editor) This book examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless), isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing the relevant stress-strain relation. This relation and the equations of momentum conservation are combined to give the equation of motion. The differential formulation is written in terms of memory variables, and Biot's theory...
	Wave Propagation in Elastic Solids (North-Holland Series in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics) by Jan Achenbach (Author) 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...
