The main goal of the book is a coherent treatment of the theory of propagation in materials of nonlinearly elastic waves of displacements, which corresponds to

Comprehensive introduction to nonlinear elasticity for graduates and researchers, covering new developments in the field.

The mathematical modelling of changing structures in materials is of increasing importance to industry where applications of the theory are found in subjects as

This book examines in detail the Theory of Elasticity which is a branch of the mechanics of a deformable solid. Special emphasis is placed on the investigation

This book uses asymptotic methods to obtain simple approximate analytic solutions to various problems within mechanics, notably wave processes in heterogeneous
