Summary

Part of the series Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics, this volume talks about propagation of plane, spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids, liquid-solid models, and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes).

Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics, III Summary

Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics, III: Volume 39 by Alex Kaufman (Professor Emeritus, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, USA)

This monograph is the last volume in the series 'Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics'. The previous two volumes published by Elsevier (2000, 2002) dealt mostly with wave propagation in liquid media. The third volume is dedicated to propagation of plane, spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids, liquid-solid models, and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes).

Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics, III Reviews

This book by researchers with high international reputations in geophysics and seismology, completes this extraordinary series of three volumes devoted to acoustic and elastic waves in geophysics. It is extraordinary because of its thoroughness and completeness in presenting wave theory. --Peter G, Malischewsky, in NATURAL HAZARDS, 2007

About Alex Kaufman (Professor Emeritus, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, USA)

Emeritus Professor A.Kaufman has 28 years' experience of teaching at the geophysical department in Colorado School of Mines He received his PhD. in Institute of Physics of the Earth (Moscow) and degree of Doctor of Science from the Russian Academy of Science . From 1981 to 20015 he published 14 monographs by Academic Press and Elsevier, describing different geophysical methods. Most of them are translated and published in Russia and China. He also holds three patents, which found application in the surface and borehole geophysics. A. Kaufman is a honorary member of SEG.
