Wave fields in real media : wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic, porous and electromagnetic media /

Show other versions (3)

This book examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless), isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing the relevant stress-strain r...
