In this thesis, the effect of inhomogeneous pre-stress on elastic wave propagation and scattering in nonlinear elastic materials is investigated. Four main prob

Papers in this book provide a state-of-the-art examination of waves in pre-stressed materials. You’ll gain new perspectives via a multi-disciplinary approach

Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media explores the theoretical results of one-dimensional nonlinear waves, including shock waves, in elastic media. It is the first b
