Wave Motion in Elastic Solids (Dover Books on Physics) by Karl F. Graff (PDF)

Description

This highly useful textbook presents comprehensive intermediate-level coverage of nearly all major topics of elastic wave propagation in solids. The subjects range from the elementary theory of waves and vibrations in strings to the three-dimensional theory of waves in thick plates. The book is designed not only for a wide audience of engineering students, but also as a general reference for workers in vibrations and acoustics. Chapters 1–4 cover wave motion in the simple structural shapes, namely strings, longitudinal rod motion, beams and membranes, plates and (cylindrical) shells. Chapters 5–8 deal with wave propagation as governed by the three-dimensional equations of elasticity and cover waves in infinite media, waves in half-space, scattering and diffraction, and waves in thick rods, plates, and shells.To make the book as self-contained as possible, three appendices offer introductory material on elasticity equations, integral transforms and experimental methods in stress waves. In addition, the author has presented fairly complete development of a number of topics in the mechanics and mathematics of the subject, such as simple transform solutions, orthogonality conditions, approximate theories of plates and asymptotic methods.Throughout, emphasis has been placed on showing results, drawn from both theoretical and experimental studies, as well as theoretical development of the subject. Moreover, there are over 100 problems distributed throughout the text to help students grasp the material. The result is an excellent resource for both undergraduate and graduate courses and an authoritative reference and review for research workers and professionals.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a great reference and text book. Each grad student in my research group learns the fundamentals of elastic wave propagation from this text, and often gets a free copy from me – as my copy is completely worn out of years of usage. I picked up this book for its consistent notation and strong coverage many many years ago when I was a grad student, and I am still using it regularly.

⭐hope someone could talk about the knowledge in this book

⭐Awesome..!! Never saw a seller write thank you on the package. Thank you..:)

⭐I don’t know why this book is so cheap. It covers the fundamentals of wave propagation in solids and has great citations.

⭐Very good book.

⭐Excellent Product and service.

⭐It is an excellent book for civil engineers, I am specially interested in the wave motion in beams on elastic foundation

⭐great

⭐It a very interesting book. I found it helpful. I recommend it for those dealing with wave motion in solid materials.

⭐弾性体の波動と振動の教科書です。自分の研究と大学院のゼミで使えないかと思い、安価なので購入しました。内容は新しくはありませんが、弦、平板、棒などの波動について詳しく書いてあります。英語のレベルも高くないので、院ゼミの教材として使おうかと思っています。チモシェンコさんの本と全ての内容について比べたことはありませんが、式の解説も多い方なので、読みやすいとは思います。

⭐

⭐Very good. I think the book I got is a new one, so it is a good experience for me.
