Beschreibung
The technology of acoustical imaging has advanced rapidly overthe last sixty years, and now represents a sophisticated techniqueapplied to a wide range of fields including non-destructivetesting, medical imaging, underwater imaging and SONAR, andgeophysical exploration. Acoustical Imaging: Techniques andApplications for Engineers introduces the basic physics ofacoustics and acoustical imaging, before progressing to moreadvanced topics such as 3D and 4D imaging, elasticity theory, gaugeinvariance property of acoustic equation of motion and acousticmetamaterials. The author draws together the different technologiesin sonar, seismic and ultrasound imaging, highlighting thesimilarities between topic areas and their common underlyingtheory.
Key features:
* Comprehensively covers all of the important applications ofacoustical imaging.
* Introduces the gauge invariance property of acoustic equationof motion, with applications in the elastic constants of isotropicsolids, time reversal acoustics, negative refraction, doublenegative acoustical metamaterial and acoustical cloaking.
* Contains up to date treatments on latest theories of soundpropagation in random media, including statistical treatment andchaos theory.
* Includes a chapter devoted to new acoustics based onmetamaterials, a field founded by the author, including a newtheory of elasticity and new theory of sound propagation in solidsand fluids and tremendous potential in several novelapplications.
Covers the hot topics on acoustical imaging including timereversal acoustics, negative refraction and acousticalcloaking.
Acoustical Imaging: Techniques and Applicationsfor Engineers is a comprehensive reference on acousticalimaging and forms a valuable resource for engineers, researchers,senior undergraduate and graduate students.
