Nonlinear Wave Processes in Acoustics

Klappentext The authors consider models of different 'acoustic' media as well as equations and behaviour of finite-amplitude waves. Zusammenfassung The authors consider models of different 'acoustic' media as well as equations and behaviour of finite-amplitude waves. This book will be of interest not only to specialists in acoustics! but also to a wide audience of mathematicians! physicists! and engineers working on nonlinear waves in various physical systems.
