Elastic waves find widespread applications across diverse fields, including non-destructive evaluation of materials, medicine, seismology, and telecommunications. Elastic Waves in Solids 1 delves into the diverse modes of propagation of elastic waves in increasingly complex media and structures. It begins by examining the propagation in an unrestricted solid, solely considering the material properties. Subsequently, it explores reflection and transmission phenomena at an interface with a fluid or a second solid. The book elucidates the process of searching for propagation modes on a free surface or at the interface between two media. Furthermore, it proposes a comprehensive study of the dispersive propagation of elastic waves guided by a plate or a cylinder. This book serves as a valuable resource for students pursuing a master's degree in acoustics, mechanics, geophysics, or engineering, as well as teachers and researchers in these fields.

Elastic waves, with their versatile nature, find applications in a wide array of fields, spanning from the non-destructive evaluation of materials to medicine, seismology, and telecommunications. Elastic Waves in Solids 1 takes a comprehensive approach to exploring the propagation of elastic waves in diverse media and structures. It begins by examining the behavior of elastic waves in an unrestricted solid, solely focusing on the material properties. The book then delves into the intricate aspects of reflection and transmission phenomena at interfaces with fluids or other solids. It sheds light on the process of searching for propagation modes on free surfaces or at the boundaries between different media. Furthermore, the book proposes a detailed study of the dispersive propagation of elastic waves, guided by plates or cylinders. This comprehensive text is designed to cater to students pursuing advanced degrees in acoustics, mechanics, geophysics, or engineering, as well as educators and researchers in these fields. By providing a detailed exploration of elastic wave propagation, Elastic Waves in Solids 1 serves as a valuable resource for advancing knowledge and understanding in these crucial domains.
