ACOUSTIC INTERACTIONS WITH SUBMERGED ELASTIC STRUCTURES: PART IV: NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING, ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPAGATION AND SCATTERING

"... Uberall's work in acoustic and electromagnetic scattering has evoked much interest, in the US as well as abroad, because of its possible practical applications, as well as the theoretical understanding. Many collaborators have been inspired by it, and have now contributed to this volume. The book is an excellent contribution to the literature of Acoustics and Wave Propagation. Professor Guran is to be congratulated for organizing and editing this volume." Prof. Hans A Bethe Nobel Laureate Cornell University, 1996
