Inhaltsangabe

This book is an introduction to wave dynamics as they apply to earthquakes, among the scariest, most unpredictable, and deadliest natural phenomena on Earth. The text starts with a discussion of types and representations, including wave-generation mechanics, superposition, and spectral analysis. Simple harmonic motion is used to analyze the mechanisms of wave propagation, and driven and damped systems are used to model the decay rates of various modal frequencies in different media. Animation, sound files, and videos help illustrate major topics.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr W R Matson has been an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, DePaul University, and Central Michigan University since receiving his doctoral degree in Condensed Matter from Oklahoma State University in 2004. He completed his post-doctoral fellowship at Emory University in the area of destructive rheology and shock physics, during which he developed integrated experimental technology including time-dependent second-order dynamic feedback controls for a remotely governed three-dimensional experimental apparatus. His current research interest is complex flow dynamics in the vicinity of rigid boundaries and obstructive objects. His ultimate research goal is a fundamental theory of viscosity, the physics governing energy distributions and transmission inside any media. The consequences of this research could revolutionize the fields of oceanography, climatology, meteorology, and more.
