商品簡介
Author Dentcho Ivanov presents students, academics, researchers, and professionals working in a wide variety of contexts with an argument in favor of radically redesigning the current strategy utilized to limit the damages caused by earthquakes, arguing for the use of seismic shields of metamaterials to deflect seismic waves around population centers.The author has organized the main body of his text in four chapters devoted to the origin of earthquakes and seismic waves, body elastic wave propagation, surface elastic wave propagation, and modeling and earthquake-resistant design. Ivanov is a faculty member of the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
