"Waves in Fluids and Solids" ed. by Rubén Picó Vila

This book is focused on acoustic waves in fluid media and elastic perturbations in heterogeneous media. Many different systems are analyzed in this book like layered media, solitons, piezoelectric substrates, crystalline systems, granular materials, interface waves, phononic crystals, acoustic levitation and soft media.

Numerical methods are also presented as a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and an inverse scattering method.
