Ultrasonic Physics, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of ultrasonic physics. The book opens with a discussion of the sources of ultrasound.

Focusing on the physics of acoustic waves, as well as their propagation, technology, and applications, this book addresses viscoelasticity, as well as new concepts in acoustic microscopy.

Text, translated from the Russian edition of 1980, permits graduate students and advanced undergraduates to acquire a detailed command of physical and analytical issues relating to the generation and propagation of ultrasound.

Based on lectures by the author, this volume is designed as a textbook on general ultrasonics.

"Whether you're a student, a technologist, or a physician, you'll benefit from the easy-to-understand explanations of everything you need to know about ultrasound physics - all found in Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation, Fourth Edition ...

The book first offers information on the Stokes-Navier equations of hydrodynamics, as well as equations of motion, viscosity, formal introduction of volume viscosity, and linearized wave equation for a nonviscous fluid.

This self-contained book includes extensive background theory and is accessible to students new to the field of ultrasonic spectroscopy, as well as to graduate students and researchers in physics, engineering, materials science, and ...

It is hoped that this book will provide the reader with the special background necessary to read critically the many research papers and special articles concerned with the use of ultrasonic methods in solid state physics.

Written for health practitioners and students new to medical ultrasound, this book provides all the basic physics and technological knowledge they need in order to practise ultrasound effectively, including safety aspects of ultrasound, ...
