Ultrasonic signals are increasingly being used for predicting material behavior, both in an engineering context (detecting anomalies in a variety of structures) and a biological context (examining human bones, body parts and unborn fetuses). Featuring contributions from authors who are specialists in their subject area, this book presents new developments in ultrasonic research in both these areas, including ultrasonic NDE and other areas which go beyond traditional imaging techniques of internal defects. As such, both those in the biological and physical science communities will find this an informative and stimulating read.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design is well written and would make an excellent reference book and a textbook for review and continuing education courses on the subject.
---Applied Mechanics Review
. . .a very detailed and comprehensive discussion of stiffness and damping in structures and structural elements. . ..a great addition to the reference library of any practicing structural or design engineer.

The numerical optimization of practical applications has been an issue of major importance for the last 10 years. It allows us to explore reliable non-trivial configurations, differing widely from all known solutions. The purpose of this book is to introduce the state-of-the-art concerning this issue and many complementary applications are presented.
