The theory of linear poroelasticity describes the interaction between mechanical effects and adding or removing fluid from rock. This book incorporates example problems from geomechanics, hydrogeology, and petroleum engineering to illustrate poroelastic behavior and solution methods for a variety of real-world scenarios.

(Hardback)

Places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. This book suggests that many physicists and engineers who have developed the theory of thermodynamics seem to have forgotten that mathematics, when used rigorously, is the irrefutable pathway to truth.

Here Roland Omnes offers a clear, up-to-date guide to the conceptual framework of quantum mechanics.

(Paperback)

(Hardback)

Offers a unified treatment of wave propagation in electronic and electromagnetic systems and introduces readers to the essentials of the transfer matrix method, an analytical tool that can be used to model and study an array of problems pertaining to wave propagation in electrons and photons.

(Hardback)

Offers an introduction to wave scattering in nonstationary materials. This book aims to provide a resource for newcomers to this field of research that has applications across a range of areas, including radar, sonar, diagnostics in engineering and manufacturing, geophysical prospecting, and ultrasonic medicine such as sonograms.

A guide to ocean waves traces their evolution from wind-wave generation to coastal effects.

(Paperback)

Offers a tour of the world of light. This book explores theoretical, experimental, and historical themes, and covers such questions as how it is possible to achieve magnifications of a millionfold without a single lens or mirror. It also covers various elements of physical optics, including propagation, reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
