| Summary |
"Ultrasonic wave techniques are used increasingly in areas ranging from nondestructive inspection of materials to medical diagnosis. These modern techniques evolved from basic physical principles of wave mechanics." "This book brings together basic physics and modern applications. It explains the physical principles of wave propagation and then relates them to ultrasonic wave mechanics and the more recent guided wave techniques used to inspect and evaluate aircraft, power plants, and pipelines in chemical processing plants." "Graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers will find Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media an invaluable reference to this active field."--BOOK JACKET |
