Wave Phenomena in the Physical Sciences

SERIES EDITOR: Sanichiro Yoshida, Southeastern Louisiana University

The aim of this series is to discuss the science of various waves. It consists of several books, each covering a specific subject known as a wave phenomenon. Each book is designed to be self-contained so that the reader can understand the gist of the subject. From this viewpoint, the reader can read any book as a stand-alone article. However, it is beneficial to read multiple books as it would provide the reader with the opportunity to view the same aspect of wave dynamics from different angles.

The targeted readership is graduate students and engineers whose background is similar but different from the subject. Throughout the series, it is intended to help students and engineers deepen their fundamental understanding of the subject as wave dynamics. An emphasis is laid on grasping the big picture of each subject without dealing with detailed formalism, and yet understanding the practical aspects of the subject. To this end, mathematical formulations are simplified as much as possible and applications to cutting edge research are included. The reader is encouraged to read books cited in each book for further details of the subject.

	Waves in Biomechanics Domenico Scaramozzino, Giuseppe Lacidogna, Alberto Carpinteri Proteins and macromolecular structures represent one of the most important building blocks for a variety of biological processes. Their biological activity is performed in a dynamic fashion, hence the concepts of waves and vibrations can help to expl… Publication Date: December 2021 Read More
	Gravitational Waves David M. Feldbaum Gravitational wave (GW) research is one of the most rapidly developing subfields in experimental physics today. The theoretical underpinnings of this endeavor trace to the discussions of the “speed of gravity” in the 18th century, but the modern unde… Publication Date: August, 2020 Read More
	Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries Stanislav Babak This book is to help post-graduate students to get into gravitational wave astronomy. We assume the knowledge of General Relativity theory, though we will concentrate on the physics and often omit mathematically strict derivations. We provide referen… Publication Date: April, 2020 Read More
	Physics of Nonlinear Waves Mitsuhiro Tanaka This is an introductory book about nonlinear waves. It focuses on two properties that various different wave phenomena have in common, the “nonlinearity” and “dispersion,” and explains them in a style that is easy to understand for first-time student… Publication Date: December, 2019 Read More
