An introductory course in the theory and modeling of propagating waves. Subjects may include scalar waves in 1-D and 2-D, traveling and standing waves, flexural waves in beams, dispersion, phase and group velocity, vector waves in 2-D and 3-D, waves in infinite media and semi-infinite media, P waves, SH waves, SV waves, Rayleigh and Love surface waves, Stoneley waves, reflection and transmission at interfaces, numerical modeling, radiation conditions, scattering and radiation from obstacles, and fluid-solid interaction. Three lecture hours a week for one semester. Civil Engineering 381W and 397 (Topic: Wave Propagation Analysis) may not both be counted. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
