Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Radiation and Scattering of Waves is a self-contained, medium-level handbook on the time-domain and complex frequency domain radiation and scattering of elastic waves in solids, electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves in fluids. The emphasis is placed on reciprocity as a basic concept for developing the methodology of handling forward (direct) and inverse sources and scattering problems. Using international nomenclature, the text presents a consistent use of the subscript notation for vectors and tensors enabling an effortless transcription of the mathematical expressions into statements in any high-level programming language (i.e., FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90) or in symbolic manipulation programs such as Mathematica (r). Carefully selected exercises, with answers, are provided at the end of each section. This handbook assumes the reader has a knowledge of elementary mechanics and differential calculus, as well as a grasp of Laplace and Fourier transformation methods. Displays a consistent use of vectors and tensors Covers time domain analysis Covers fundamentals of elastic wave motion in solids Explains derivation of the basic equations of elastodynamics Develops time-domain methods side-by-side with complex frequency domain methods Facilitates easy transcription of mathematical expressions into statements in any high-level programming language such as FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 99, or in symbolic manipulation programs like Mathematica(r) through consistent use of subscript notation for vectors and tensors
