Properties of wave localization play a decisive role both in
applications of engineered microstructures and in the detection of
cracks and flaws. The papers in this volume give an introduction
into a variety of interrelated dynamic localization phenomena
occurring in elasticity, acoustics and electromagnetism. In
particular, these involve surface and edge waves and also trapped
modes localized near defects, shape changes and the edges of
elongated waveguides. The effects of layering, prestress,
anisotropy, periodic microstructures as well as various multi-field
phenomena are addressed with reference to underlying industrial
problems. The essential and up-to-date numerical, asymptotic, and
analytical techniques are covered as well as relevant continuum
theories that are required to make progress in, and understand wave
localization and allied effects. A major focus is on a qualitative
physical insight into the mechanisms of dynamic localization.
