Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the impact of acoustic waves on fixed, rigid disks using a 'geometrical theory' for solving diffraction problems. This theory, developed by the author, is suitable for situations where the wavelength is small compared to the obstacle dimensions, yet also works well for larger wavelengths. The author determines the force and torque exerted on a disk by a plane sound wave, and calculates these quantities for disks bounded by smooth, closed, convex curves and for infinitely long thin strips. These results are then specialized to ellipses, circles, and infinitely long strips. The oscillatory behavior of the torque as a function of wavelength and the occurrence of equilibrium positions are interesting consequences of these calculations. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of acoustics, electromagnetics, and applied mathematics.
