Wave mechanics (vibration and acoustics)

The purpose of this text is to present the theory and mathematics of inverse scattering, in a simple way, to the many researchers and professionals who use it in their everyday research.

Two key words define the scope of this book: 'ultrasound' and 'colloids'.

Advances in Imaging & Electron Physics merges two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics & Electron Physics and Advances in Optical & Electron Microscopy.

While research on ultrasonics has been covered in earlier volumes of the Physical Acoustics series, Volumes 23 and 24 demonstrate the successful commercialization of devices and instruments arising from research in this area.

In the last decade parallel computing has been put forward as the only computational answer to the increasing computational needs arising from very large and complex fluid dynamic problems.

Hearing is a comprehensive, authoritative reference work covering both the physiological and perceptual aspects of hearing.

Architectural Acoustics offers a comprehensive overview of acoustical science at a level suitable for either advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate courses in architectural design and architectural engineering.

This major new edition of a popular undergraduate text covers topics of interest to chemical engineers taking courses on fluid flow.

Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts from both industry and academia, Acoustic Wave Sensors provides an in-depth look at the current state of acoustic wave devices and the scope of their use in chemical, biochemical, and physical measurements, as well as in engineering applications.

Ultrasound has found an increasing number of applications in recent years due to greatly increased computing power.

Flow Visualization, Second Edition focuses on developments, applications, and results in the field of flow visualization.
