AlbakiReads Editorial

A structured study of elastic-wave propagation

Daniel Royer’s volume traces how elastic waves propagate through solids, moving from an unlimited solid to boundaries and more complex structures. Its coverage includes reflection and transmission where a solid meets a fluid or another solid, modes along free surfaces and interfaces, and dispersive waves guided by plates or cylinders. The progression connects foundational material properties with wave behavior in settings relevant to non-destructive materials evaluation, medicine, seismology and telecommunications. The book’s scope is technical and centered on propagation phenomena rather than a broad survey of every application.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Master’s-level students in acoustics, mechanics, geophysics or engineering
  • Teachers and researchers in those disciplines

Book overview

Elastic waves are used in fields as diverse as the non-destructive evaluation of materials, medicine, seismology and telecommunications. Elastic Waves in Solids 1 presents the different modes of propagation of elastic waves in increasingly complex media and structures. It first studies the propagation in an unlimited solid where only the material properties are taken into account. It then analyzes reflection and transmission phenomena at an interface with a fluid or a second solid.

It explains the search for propagation modes on a free surface or at the interface between two media. Finally, it proposes a study of the dispersive propagation of elastic waves guided by a plate or a cylinder. This book is intended for students completing a master's degree in acoustics, mechanics, geophysics or engineering, as well as teachers and researchers in these disciplines.
