Theory of Elastic Waves in Crystals [E-Book] / by Fedor I. Fedorov.
The translation into English of Academician Fedorov's ex cellent treatise on elastic wave propagation in solids has come at an opportune time. His systematic exposition of all aspects of this field is most lucid and straightforward. The author has gone to considerable pains to develop in his m...
