This book focuses on basic and advanced concepts of wave propagation in diverse material systems and structures. Topics are organized in increasing order of complexity for better appreciation of the subject. Additionally, the book provides basic guidelines to design many of the futuristic materials and devices for varied applications. The material in the book also can be used for designing safer and more lightweight structures such as aircraft, bridges, and mechanical and structural components. The main objective of this book is to bring both the introductory and the advanced topics of wave propagation into one text. Such a text is necessary considering the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject. This book is written in a step-by step modular approach wherein the chapters are organized so that the complexity in the subject is slowly introduced with increasing chapter numbers. Text starts by introducing all the fundamental aspects of wave propagations and then moves on to advanced topics on the subject. Every chapter is provided with a number of numerical examples of increasing complexity to bring out the concepts clearly The solution of wave propagation is computationally very intensive and hence two different approaches, namely, the Finite Element method and the Spectral Finite method are introduced and have a strong focus on wave propagation. The book is supplemented by an exhaustive list of references at the end of the book for the benefit of readers.

"The book browses rapidly in the first chapters into different aspects of wave propagation in many different materials, considering anisotropy, heterogeneity and higher-order continua. It then deals with a large list of more specific aspects at the forefront of current research. The book will be of interest both to top-level researchers and to students wishing to get of broad view of up-to-date research topics in wave propagation."— Régis Cottereau, CNRS, CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, France"The book provides a self-contained exposition of elastic wave propagation in material and structures. Besides covering the general background on elastic wave propagation, it covers a wide variety of interesting applications of wave propagation in different types of wave guides and nano structures. There are many interesting chapters covering important applications such as wave propagation in composite structures, nanostructures and in materials including electric and magnetic regions. There is also an interesting chapter on wave propagation in uncertain wave guides using Monte Carlo simulations. Overall, the book can serve as an excellent reference book for both engineers and applied mathematicians."—Kristian Sandberg, Computational Solutions, Inc.The main strength in this book is the brief but very effective fundamentals that one must know or recapitulate before understand the harder materials on wave propagation. The breath and deepness in the material covered is quite valuable for graduate students those who will embark on the journey with acoustic or ultrasonic wave propagation. Particularly I like the concept of stitching the wave propagation in classical media, waves in periodic media, wave in micro to nano scale structures and very wide topics but brief fundamentals together in to a one chain."— Sourav Banerjee, University of South Carolina, USA
