Description
A collection of papers concerning the physics of finite amplitude acoustic waves, by authors from the former Soviet Union. Subjects covered include media with structural nonlinearities, optical generation of sound, acoustic beat-wave interactions, acoustic shock waves, parametric arrays, media with relaxation and oscillatory degrees of freedom, and fluid cavitation. Useful for research scientists and graduate students in the field. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Market: Acousticians, research scientists, instructors, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students in nonlinear acoustics. This book contains a collection of papers by authors of the Former Soviet Union. The topics covered are media with "structural" nonlinearities, optical generation of sound, acoustic beat-wave interactions, acoustic shock waves, thermal self-focusing of acoustic waves, solitons, statistical nonlinear acoustics, media with relaxation and oscillatory degrees of freedom, parametric arrays, and fluid cavitation.
