Abstract

This chapter is on waves in regions unbounded in at least one direction. These waves can be propagating or stationary waves. They are nontrivial solutions of homogeneous differential equations and boundary conditions. Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, and 4.13 are on antiplane problems of polarized ceramics for which the notation in Sect. 2.9 is followed.
