Ultrasound devices are often preferred over other devices because of their lower cost, portability, and non-invasive nature. Patients using ultrasound can avoid the dangers of radiological imaging devices such as x-rays, CT scans, and radioactive media injections. Ultrasound is also a preferred and practical method of detecting material fatique and defects in metals, composites, semiconductors, wood, etc. Detailed appendices contain useful formulas and their derivations, technical details of relevant theories The FAQ format is used where a concept in one answer leads to a new Q&AElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsUltrasonic wavesElastic wavesElectronic books.localOriginal01244334569780124433458(DLC) 2001098014(OCoLC)49781144Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780124433458An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationTable of contentshttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy022/2001098014.htmlPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2001098014.html.b1365295303-03-2224-01-08991003235039707536Ultrasound and elastic waves1212893UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
