Elastic Wave Propagation in Structures and Materials initiates with a brief in-troduction to wave propagation, different wave equations, integral transforms including fundamentals of Fourier Transform, and its numerical implementa-tion. The concept of spectral analysis and procedure to compute the wave pa-rameters, wave propagation in 1-D isotropic waveguides, and wave dispersion in 2-D waveguides are explained. Wave propagation in different media such as laminated composites, functionally graded structures, granular soils, and non- local elasticity models is addressed. Separate chapters on signal processing and wave propagation in viscoelastic waveguides are included in this book. The entire book is written in modular form for easy understanding of the basic concepts.
