Title Mechanics of Continua and Wave Dynamics Author(s) Brekhovskikh, Leonid M;Goncharov, Valery Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1994. Description XII, 342 p : online resource Abstract Note Mechanics of Continua and Wave Dynamics is a textbook for a course on the mechanics of solids and fluids with the emphasis on wave theory. The material is presented with simplicity and clarity but also with mathematical rigor. Many wave phenomena, especially those of geophysical nature (different types of waves in the ocean, seismic waves in the earth crust, wave propagation in the atmosphere, etc.), are considered. Each subject is introduced with simple physical concepts using numerical examples and models. The treatment then goes into depth and complicated aspects are illustrated by appropriate generalizations. Numerous exercises with solutions will help students to comprehend and assimilate the ideas ISBN,Price 9783642850349 Keyword(s) 1. ACOUSTICS 2. Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics 3.
