Propagation, Scattering, and Reflection of Waves in Continuous and Random Inhomogeneous Media, and Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems.

Abstract

The research work on this project centered about two major subjects. The first is the development of asymptotic, perturbation, and numerical methods for sound wave propagation in the oceans, atmosphere, and other waveguides. The second area is the development of similar methods for solving nonlinear problems. Particular emphasis was given to the nonlinear problems that arise in, bifurcation theory, the nonlinear buckling of elastic plates and shells, and hydrodynamic stability. (Author)
