Reviews

From the reviews: Verruijt (Delft Univ. of Technology, Netherlands) begins this 15-chapter work by discussing the basic properties of dynamic systems including various forms of damping, defined using an elementary system of mass linear spring and damper. The author focuses on the basics of dynamic problems in elastic continua for different types of waves, and provides solutions for more difficult mixed boundary values. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty. (R. P. Khera, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), August, 2010)
