Overview
- First to apply SFEM to inhomogeneous and anisotropic structures in a unified and systematic manner
- Readers will gain a complete understanding of how to formulate Spectral Finite Element; learn about wave behaviour in inhomogeneous and anisotropic media; and, be able to design some diagnostic tools for monitoring the health of a structure
- The theory is supported by tables, figures and graphs; all the numerical examples are so designed to bring out the essential wave behaviour in these complex structures
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics (COMPFLUID)

Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book deals with wave propagation and related problems of identification and control for anisotropic composites with particular emphasis on laminated and graded structures. It is intended for graduate and senior undergraduate students and researchers in engineering disciplines. … The book presents some interesting results in material sciences. The researchers in this area will find it useful in a number of applications." (Fiazud Din Zaman, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1145, 2008)
