Waves and Rays in Elastic Continua

Waves and Rays in Elastic Continua

Free eBook “Waves and Rays in Elastic Continua” by Michael A. Slawinski. The present book – which is the second, and significantly extended, edition of the textbook originally published by Elsevier Science – emphasizes the interdependence of mathematical formulation and physical meaning in the description of seismic phenomena.

Book Description

Herein, we use aspects of continuum mechanics, wave theory and ray theory to explain phenomena resulting from the propagation of seismic waves. The book is divided into three main sections: Elastic Continua, Waves and Rays and Variational Formulation of Rays. There is also a fourth part, which consists of appendices.
