Abstract
This book is about developing quantitative models of ultrasonic systems—models that can describe the physics of an ultrasonic measurement process. Specifically, the focus is on the types of ultrasonic systems used for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications. However, many of the models derived are applicable to other uses of ultrasound and to other areas involving wave propagation, such as acoustics or seismology.
