Acoustic interactions with submerged elastic structures. Part IV, Nondestructive testing, acoustic wave propagation and scattering. : a Herbert Überall festschrift volume / with a foreword by Hans A. Bethe ; editors, Ardéshir Guran [and others].

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This series of volumes constitutes an outstanding collection of contributions by the most active research workers in the area of acoustics and mechanics. It brings the reader up to date on the status of the various aspects of research in this field. The volumes should preserve their value for a long time, as they represent a monument to the achievements of human research capabilities in the underwater-acoustics aspects of the environment.
