Course Objective

This course is devoted to present theoretical bases of wave propagation in finite and infinite media with examples chosen from elasticity, acoustics and geophysics. Wave types, dispersion, reflection, refraction and transmission of plane waves in waveguides such as rods, beams, plates, shells etc. are also of concerns for this course. The course also considers free and forced vibrations of waveguides with approximate theories of waves.
