Wave propagation in elastic solids
|
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 phenomena, such as radiation, reflection, refraction, propagation in waveguides, and diffraction. The treatment necessarily involves considerable mathematical analysis. The pertinent mathematical techniques are, however, discussed at some length.

Achenbach is a must for your library
I read through entire chapters of this book on and off while trying to understand the literature in the wave propagation of solids. What I liked about it is that it develops everything with Rigor from the fundamentals. Chapter 6 is very useful for wave guides, but it covers most all topics in wave propagation. Great reference, could be better if it had more examples, but what it lacks in examples, it makes up for in its detail derivations of all of the basic principles.
