Nonlinear wave processes in homogeneous media -- Physical models and mechanisms of the structure nonlinearity of micro-inhomogeneous media with cracks and cavities -- Elastic waves in media with strong acoustic nonlinearity -- Wave processes in micro-inhomogeneous media with hysteretic nonlinearity -- Wave processes in nonlinear micro-inhomogeneous media with relaxation -- Wave processes in the polycrystalline solids with dissipative and elastic nonlinearity caused by dislocations -- Experimental studies of the nonlinear acoustic phenomena in polycrystalline rocks and metals -- Experimental studies of nonlinear acoustic phenomena in granular media -- Nonlinear phenomena in seismic waves.

Sommario/riassunto

Nonlinear Acoustic Waves in Micro-inhomogeneous Solids covers the broad and dynamic branch of nonlinear acoustics, presenting a wide variety of different phenomena from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. The introductory chapters, written in the style of



graduate-level textbook, present a review of the main achievements of classic nonlinear acoustics of homogeneous media. This enables readers to gain insight into nonlinear wave processes in homogeneous and micro-inhomogeneous solids and compare it within the framework of the book. The subsequent eight chapters covering: Physical m

Sommario/riassunto

The marriage of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne-for their contemporaries a model of true love and married happiness-was also a scene of revulsion and combat. T. Walter Herbert reveals the tragic conflicts beneath the Hawthorne's ideal of domestic fulfillment and shows how their marriage reflected the tensions within nineteenth-century society. In so doing, he sheds new light on Hawthorne's fiction, with its obsessive themes of guilt and grief, balked feminism and homosexual seduction, adultery, patricide, and incest.
