Soils are unique materials. Analogous to all other particulate materials, their properties depend on environmental parameters, such as confinement and fluid characteristics. While their behavior is complex, simple micromechanical analyses at the particle level provide unparalleled insight. Furthermore, elastic and electromagnetic waves can be effectively used to gain complementary information about the particulate medium,...

This book examines the fundamental concepts and implementation procedures essential to applied engineers and scientists working with discrete signal processing and inverse problem solving. Based on the original edition, this expanded and enriched version will appeal not only to the civil engineering community but also to aerospace and mechanical engineers and the applied science communities at large. Readers will benefit from the authors' broad range of experience, which is captured in new problems, figures, and exercises. Solutions for the sample problems, MathCAD files, typical signals,...
