详细说明： 本书共计570页。英文介绍如下： The opening session of the physics degree course at Imperial College includes an introduction to vibrations and waves where the stress is laid on the underlying unity of concepts which are studied separately and in more detail at later stages. The origin of this short textbook lies in that lecture course which the author has given for a number of years. Sections on Fourier transforms and non-linear oscillations have been added to extend the range of interest and application. At the beginning no more than school- leaving mathematics is assumed and more advanced techniques are outlined as they arise. This involves explaining the use of exponential series, the notation of complex numbers and partial differentiation and putting trial solutions into differential equations. Only plane waves are considered and, with two exceptions, Cartesian coordinates are used throughout. Vector methods are avoided except for the scalar product and, on one occasion, the vector product. Opinion canvassed amongst many undergraduates has argued for a ‘working’ as much as for a ‘reading’ book; the result is a concise text amplified by many problems over a wide range of content and sophistication. Hints for solution are freely given on the principle that an undergraduates gains more from being guided to a result of physical significance than from carrying out a limited arithmetical exercise. The main theme of the book is that a medium through which energy is transmitted via wave propagation behaves essentially as a continuum of coupled oscillators. A simple oscillator is characterized by three parameters, two of which are capable of storing and exchanging energy, whilst the third is energy dissipating. This is equally true of any medium. The product of the energy storing parameters determines the velocity of wave propagation through the medium and, in the absence of the third parameter, their ratio governs the impedance which the medium presents to the waves. The energy dissipating parameter introduces a loss term into the impedance; energy is absorbed from the wave system and it attenuates. This viewpoint allows a discussion of simple harmonic, damped, forced and coupled oscillators which leads naturally to the behaviour of transverse waves on a string, longitudinal waves in a gas and a solid, voltage and current waves on a transmission line and electromagnetic waves in a dielectric and a conductor. All are amenable to this common treatment, and it is the wide validity of relatively few physical principles which this book seeks to demonstrate. ...展开收缩
