Viscoelastic Waves and Rays in Layered Media

Beschreibung

This edition extends the theory for viscoelastic wave propagation to include head waves and general ray theory. The additions, not published elsewhere, significantly increase interest in the book for advanced university courses, research, and applications in seismology, exploration geophysics, engineering, solid mechanics, acoustics, and physics.
