Theory of Elastic Wave Propagation and Its Application to Scattering - Problem

Elastic wave propagation applies widely across engineering. This presents continuum mechanics, stress and strain tensors, and the derivation of equations for elastic wave motions with Green's function. The MUSIC algorithm is used to address inverse scattering problems, and the companion website provides software with detailed solutions.
