Reciprocity in Elastodynamics (Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics)

The reciprocity theorem has been used for over 100 years to establish interesting and useful relationships and to formulate problems. Internationally distinguished for his contributions to mechanics, Jan Achenbach presents a novel method of solving wave fields. The material presented here is relevant to applications in engineering and applied physics such as ultrasonics for medical imaging and non-destructive evaluation, acoustic microscopy, seismology, exploratory geophysics, and structural acoustics.
