Description for Surface Waves in Geomechanics
paperback. Deals with forward and inverse modelling of surface waves. This title emphasies on Rayleigh wave propagation in geomaterials. It presents experimental techniques for geotechnical site characterization using surface waves. It features a chapter that is devoted to computational methods for generalized surface and interface waves. Editor(s): Lai, Carlo G.; Wilmanski, Krzysztof. Series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences. Num Pages: 396 pages, 163 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: TG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 23. Weight in Grams: 703.
Theories of surface waves develop since the end of XIX century and many fundamental problems like existence, phase and group velocities, attenuation (quality factor), mode conversion, etc. have been, in part successfully, solved within the framework of such simple models as ideal fluids^ or linear elasticity. However, a sufficiently complete presentation of this subject, particularly for solids, is still missing in the literature. The sole exception is the book of I. A. Viktorov^ which contains an extensive discussion of fundamental properties of surface waves in homogeneous and stratified linear elastic solids with particular emphasis on contributions of Russian scientists.
