This book provides complete coverage of the issues relevant to the interpretation of ultrasonic experiments in condensed matter, including theory and experimental techniques.

Recenzje

'The book covers expected subjects such as continuum mechanics of elastic solids, the acoustic approximation and the elastic constants, experimental methods, and ultrasound attenuation … [this review recommends] this book for anyone entering the field of ultrasonics in solids, the book should be acquired as a ready reference by scientists and engineers who have already been working the field.' J. D. Maynard, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
