Blast vibration analysis - G. A Bollinger

This volume focuses on the origin, transmission, and types of elastic waves in solid media, covering the physical laws involved in wave analysis and the mathematical methods for analyzing wave phenomena. The analytic tools refined in earthquake engineering, earthquake seismology, and seismic exploration for petroleum - i.e., digital and spectral analyses - are applied to the blast vibration problem.

G. A. Bollinger is Professor Emeritus of Seismology at Virginia Tech University. He received his Ph.D. in geophysics from St. Louis University and is the author of The Earthquake History of Virginia and many articles for the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America and The Journal of Geophysical Research.
