Roach, G. F.

Wave scattering by time-dependent perturbations : an introduction / G.F. Roach. - Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, �2007. - 1 online resource (x, 287 pages) - Princeton series in applied mathematics . - Princeton series in applied mathematics. .

Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-283) and index.

Introduction and outline of contents -- Some aspects of waves on strings -- Mathematical preliminaries -- Spectral theory and spectral decompositions -- On nonautonomous problems -- On scattering theory strategies -- Echo analysis -- Wave scattering from time-periodic perturbations -- Concerning inverse problems -- Some remarks on scattering in other wave systems -- Commentaries and appendices.

This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to wave scattering in nonstationary materials. G.F. Roach's aim is to provide an accessible, self-contained resource for newcomers to this important field of research that has applications across a broad range of areas, including radar, sonar, diagnostics in engineering and manufacturing, geophysical prospecting, and ultrasonic medicine such as sonograms. New methods in recent years have been developed to assess the structure and properties of materials and surfaces. When light, sound, or some other wave energy is directed at the material.
