DESCRIPTION:
This book fulfills the much needed role of an introductory work on nonlinear wave propagation in fluids and solids. Highly recommended." Choice . "Drumheller and colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories carried out pioneering studies in the field and have published a wealth of data on shock waves
Among the important areas of research and application are impact analysis, shock wave research, explosive detonation, nonlinear acoustics, and hypersonic aerodynamics. Waves are responsible for the sound of speech, meteors igniting the atmosphere, radio and television broadcasting, medical diagnosis using ultrasound. This book provides a thorough, modern introduction to the study of linear and nonlinear waves. Beginning with fundamental concepts of motion, the book goes on to discuss linear and nonlinear mechanical waves, thermodynamics, and constitutive models for a variety of gases, liquids, and solids. Students at an advanced undergraduate/graduate level will find this text a clear a
Drumheller-Sandia National Laboratories
Guillermo Emilio Aldana-Calderon said Drumheller presents the theory and applies it. I had the opportunity to meet (and get some guidance) from Dr. Drumheller while doing my graduate work at UT Austin and I am very familiar with his work in the field since about 1988. Drumheller has a knack for being able to explain things as if you are listening to Dr. Suss - pleasurable, clear and in plain english.Chapter1: - Goes into fundamentals of tensor analysis, motion, inverse motion, strain, deformation, shear,locati. Invaluable reference jonas zukas This book is an invaluable contribution for anyone interested in problems involving the dynamic response of materials subjected to intense impulsive or impact loading. Typical examples would be the response of structures to blast, vehicle crashworthiness studies, fluid-structure interaction problems, penetration and perforation of solids and structures, explosive welding, forming, compaction, shock consolidation and synthesis
