Reviews

From the reviews:

 “Verruijt (Delft Univ. of Technology, Netherlands) begins this 15-chapter work by discussing the basic properties of dynamic systems including various forms of damping, defined using an elementary system of mass linear spring and damper. … The author … focuses on the basics of dynamic problems in elastic continua for different types of waves, and provides solutions for more difficult mixed boundary values. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty.” (R. P. Khera, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), August, 2010)
