Contents:
ch. 1. Ultrasonics : a broad field -- ch. 2. Elastic wave propagation and associated phenomena -- ch. 3. Fundamental equations employed in ultrasonic design and applications -- ch. 4. Design of ultrasonic horns for high power applications -- ch. 5. Basic design of ultrasonic transducers -- ch. 6. Determining properties of materials -- ch. 7. Nondestructive testing : basic methods and general considerations -- ch. 8. Use of ultrasonics in the nondestructive testing and evaluation of metals -- ch. 9. Use of ultrasonics in the inspection and characterization of nonmetals -- ch. 10. Imaging, process control, and miscellaneous low-intensity applications -- ch. 11. Applications of high-intensity ultrasonics : basic mechanisms and effects -- ch. 12. Applications of high-intensity ultrasonics based on mechanical effects -- ch. 13. Applications of ultrasonics based on chemical effects : sonochemistry -- ch. 14. Medical applications of ultrasonic energy.
Summary: "There have been significant advances in the science, the technology employed in commercial systems, and in both the scope and the range of applications of ultrasound since the second edition of this book was published in January 1988. The present edition includes discussion of many of these advances and improvements; additional figures and numerous new references are provided. In 1988 it became a requirement to write technical papers using SI (Standard International) units rather than British units. The parameters reported are now completely described by SI units: Meters now replace feet. Velocity is now in kilometers/sec. Frequency is in Hertz rather than cycles per second and so on. These up-dates and new material, combined with the core content developed for the 2nd edition make it, in effect, a new book"-- Provided by publisher.
