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. 46 figures. 1963 edition.
Wave Motion in Elastic Solids by Karl F. Graff Self-contained coverage of topics ranging from elementary theory of waves and vibrations in strings to three-dimensional theory of waves in thick plates. Over 100 problems.
Physics of Waves by William C. Elmore, Mark A. Heald Ideal as a classroom text or for individual study, this unique one-volume overview of classical wave theory covers wave phenomena of acoustics, optics, electromagnetic radiations, and more.
Introduction to Mechanics of Continua by William Prager Classic covers geometrical foundations, state of stress, instantaneous motion, fundamental laws, perfect fluids, viscous fluids, visco-plastic and perfectly plastic materials, hypoelastic materials, finite strain, and elastic and hyperelastic materials. Prerequisites: first- and second-year college calculus. Over 160 problems, examples. 1961 ed.
