The contributions to this volume have as their theme surface acoustic waves, with a special emphasis on nonlinear and other nonclassical effects. These are of great importance for both pure science and practical applications such as signal processing, nondestructive evaluation and seismology. In recent years there has been considerable progress in the mathematical treatment of such effects which modify the predictions of linear elastic and mixed electroelastic and magnetoelastic theory for the propagation of surface waves. The volume presents current developments from a cross-disciplinary and mathematically rigorous standpoint, a format and presentation which should be useful to graduate students, researchers and engineers in many disciplines of theoretical and applied mechanics, materials science, applied mathematics, condensed matter physics, seismology and electroacoustics. The topics developed in detail in this volume are propagation on anisotropic substrates, rough surfaces, electromagnetic bodies, composite materials and superlattices, thermoelastic and viscoelastic substrates, and nonlinear propagation and its applications (e.g. convolvers). Special attention is paid to theoretical predictions, asymptotic analyses and computations and the identification of problems for future research.
