Wave Propagation in Structures

by James F. Doyle

Overview

This third edition builds on the introduction of spectral analysis as a means of investigating wave propagation and transient oscillations in structures. Each chapter of the textbook has been revised, updated and augmented with new material, such as a modified treatment of the curved plate and cylinder problem that yields a relatively simple but accurate spectral analysis. Finite element methods are now integrated into the spectral analyses to gain further insights into the high-frequency problems. In addition, a completely new chapter has been added that deals with waves in periodic and discretized structures. Examples for phononic materials meta-materials as well as genuine atomic systems are given.

Editorial Reviews

Introduces spectral analysis as a means of solving wave propagation and transient motion problems in structures. After a foundation of spectral analysis and the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is developed, a spectral treatment of waves in rods, beams, and plates is given, culminating in a novel matrix method for analyzing complex structures as a collection of connected waveguides.
