Elastic waves : high frequency theory /

"This book is concerned with mathematical aspects of theory of high-frequency elastic waves, which is also known as the ray method. The foundations of elastodynamics are presented along with the basic theory of plane and spherical waves. The ray method is then described in considerable detail f...
