Handbook of Mathematical Techniques for Wave/Structure Interactions

Handbook of Mathematical Techniques for Wave/Structure Interactions effectively bridges the gap between the heavy computational methods preferred by some engineers and the more mathematical approach favored by others. Each chapter deals with a different technique, often illustrated by applications to research problems. The authors provide detailed explanations of the important steps within the mathematical development, and where possible, physical interpretations of mathematical results. The methods they describe form powerful tools that are readily applicable to real problems and illuminate those problems in a unique way.
