Publisher's Synopsis
Encyclopaedia of Fundamentals and Applications of Ultrasonic Waves is intended to provide current exposition of ultrasonics and some of its main applications. Its purpose is to explain and describe the peculiarities of high frequency sound with general acoustics as a foundation. This book presents a number of contempo¬rary applications of ultrasonic waves, developed by the main researchers in their scientific fields from all around the world. Phased array modelling, ultrasonic thrusters, positioning systems, tomography, pro¬jection, gas hydrate bearing sediments and Doppler Velocimetry are some of the topics discussed, which, together with materials characterization, mining, corrosion, and gas removal by ultrasonic techniques, form an exciting set of updated knowledge.
