John G. Harris intended to explain in this book the special
techniques required to model the radiation and diffraction of
elastic and surface waves. He sadly died before he could fulfil
this ambition, but his plan has been brought to fruition by a team
of his distinguished collaborators. The book begins with the basic
underlying equations for wave motion and then builds upon this
foundation by solving a number of fundamental scattering problems.
The remaining chapters provide a thorough introduction to modern
techniques that have proven essential to understanding radiation
and diffraction at high frequencies. Graduate students, researchers
and professionals in applied mathematics, physics and engineering
will find that the chapters increase in complexity, beginning with
plane-wave propagation and spectral analyses. Other topics include
elastic wave theory, the Wiener-Hopf technique, the effects of
viscosity on acoustic diffraction, and the phenomenon of
channelling of wave energy along guided structures.
