Written by a group of acoustics and vibration specialists, this book studies the acoustic and vibrating phenomena that occur in diverse materials used for all kinds of purposes. The first part studies the fundamental aspects of propagation: analytical, numerical and experimental. The second part outlines industrial and medical applications. Covering a wide range of topics that associate materials science with acoustics, this will be of invaluable use to researchers, engineers, or practitioners in this field, as well as students in acoustics, physics, and mechanics.

This collective work tries to fill a gap in scientific publishing in the fields
grouped under the expression “Materials and Acoustics”. At least, that was the
starting objective of the editorial committee who gave us the mission of coordinating
everything that needed to be done.
From the preliminary outlines of the book, to the creation of the index, this
project has enjoyed varying fortunes. However, the result is such that the basics of
the fields covering the themes of “acoustics for materials” and “materials for
acoustics”, from current results of basic research (Parts 1 to 5 for the essentials) to
applications (especially Parts 6 to 8), are presented in this work.
The construction of this book has been governed by a certain logic, following
which the essential, imperative elements generally precede presentations of
applications. However, the contribution of each author remains understandable on its
own.
Ignoring the fact that no-one can ever be completely happy, we would sincerely
like to thank every author for the confidence they have put in us and for their
support in this collective work.
