The book "Waves in Nonlinear Pre-Stressed Materials" provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary overview of the topic of waves in pre-stressed materials. It addresses the interactions between various subjects, including the mathematical modeling of incremental material behavior, both elastic and inelastic. Additionally, it analyzes the fundamental differential equations and boundary value problems, as well as computer-based methods for solving these issues. Special attention is given to industrial, geophysical, and biomechanical applications. The authors, M. Destrade and G. Saccomandi, offer a complete view of the fundamental theoretical aspects, including mechanical modeling, exact solutions, asymptotic methods, and numerical treatment. The book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to engage with wave propagation in various contexts.
