description: ' ... a ready-made program of teaching for any scientist or engineer who would like to use the book as a teaching support.' American Society of Mechanical Engineers<br /><br />' ... rich pedagogical material ... the exposition is well balanced and extremely convincing ... Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media deserves to be present on the shelf of all students of elastic-wave propagation and also on that of professionals, theoreticians, and experimentalists, who periodically need to refresh their memory, or are likely to deliver a course with similar contents.'

  Preface 
  Common experience reveals two basic aspects of wave propagation. First, 
  while preserving their identity and travelling at definite speeds, sounds finally 
  die out. Second, weak sounds may combine to form strong noises. Theories of 
  acoustic propagation have succeeded in repre
