Harris intended to explain in this book the special techniques required to model the radiation and diffraction of elastic and surface waves. He sadly died before he could fulfil this ambition but his plan has been brought to fruition by a... more

Its main focus almost uniquely for its time is the application of Hamilton s optical method to variational principles in space-time. Professor J. L. Synge here uses this method to generate a completely... more

In this monograph I record those parts of the theory of transverse isotropic elastic wave propagation which lend themselves to an exact treatment within the framework of linear theory. Emphasis is placed on transient wave motion problems in two- and... more

Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modelling. Indeed our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book... more
