Based on lectures by the author, this volume is designed as a textbook on general ultrasonics. The text provides coverage of the propagation of ultrasonic waves in media with different elastic properties and under conditions close to those encountered in scientific and practical applications of ultrasound. As well as classical material and data from original sources, the book includes experimental data on the velocity of sound in isotropic solids and crystals. Each chapter is complemented by problems and their solutions.

Professor Vladimir Alexandrovich Shutilov graduated from the Faculty of Physics, Leningrad State University, and worked there all his life, first as lecturer, senior lecturer, professor and from 1980 as head of the Department of Molecular Physics. He published more than 250 scientific papers, mainly on ultrasonic spectroscopy and solid-state quantum acoustics. In the early sixties he began research on a new phenomenon - acoustic nuclear-magnetic resonance, for which he obtained his doctorate in 1974. He was a member of the USSR Academy of Sciences committees on problems of ultrasonics, radiospectroscopy and the physics of ferroelectric and dielectric materials. He died in 1985. Yelena Vladimirovna Tcharnaya is lecturer in the Faculty of Physics, Leningrad State University. She has published more than 60 scientific papers in the fields of solid-state acoustics, quantum acoustics and the acoustic properties of crystals.
