New applications for composite materials are being developed at a
rapid pace. However, their complex microstructures present
considerable challenges for nondestructive testing and
characterization. Ultrasonic waves provide quantitative means of
nondestructive evaluation of these materials and structures. For
this purpose, it is necessary to obtain a clear understanding of
the characteristic features of guided elastic wave propagation in
such materials and structures and their dynamic
response.

Elastic Waves in Composite Media and Structures
presents effective analytical and numerical techniques to study
the characteristic features of elastic guided waves in fiber
reinforced laminated media. The book closely examines the salient
features of dispersive guided modes and how they are modified by
defects, inhomogeneities, and boundaries. An accompanying CD-ROM
contains executable computer programs, which can be used to
simulate different scenarios for designing and interpreting
ultrasonic experiments.
