Nonlinear Wave Processes in Acoustics

The authors consider models of different ???acoustic??? media as well as equations and behaviour of finite-amplitude waves.

List of contents

Preface; 1. Nonlinearity, dissipation and dispersion in acoustics; 2. Simple waves and shocks in acoustics; 3. Nonlinear geometrical acoustics; 4. Nonlinear sound beams; 5.

Summary

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.
