About this ebook

The textbook “Principles of Hydroacoustics” is devoted to the study of the equations of liquid and solid elastic (isotropic and anisotropic). The textbook provides the main characteristics of the reflectivity of ideal and elastic bodies as the simple forms (sphere, infinite cylinder, prolate and oblate spheroids) and bodies of non-analytical shape (finite cylinder with hemispheres at the ends). Moreover, in the textbook, along with classical methods of diffraction theory, such numerical methods as the finite element method and the boundary element method are used. The textbook also studies the theory of synthesis of hydroacoustic antennas and criteria for acoustic diffraction measurements in a hydroacoustic basin.

About the author

Alexander Kleshchev graduated from the V. I. Lenin Electrotechnical Institute, Russia, in 1960 and went on to work at the A. N. Krylov Central Research Institute, Russia. Since 1965 he has been working at the St. Petersburg Marine Technical University (former Shipbuilding Institute). In 1969, he defended his PhD thesis, and in 2009-a doctoral dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical sciences and in 2012 he received the title of professor. He is the author of 195 publications, including 17 books, such as Hydroacoustic Scatterers (1992, 2012), Diffraction and Propagation of Waves on Elastic Media and Bodies (2002), Diffraction, Radiation, and Propagation of Elastic Waves (2006, 2017), Diffraction, Radiation and Propagation of Elastic Waves in Isotropic and Anisotropic Bodies (2019), Elastic Wave Dynamics Problems (2021), The Dynamics of Elastic Structures (2021), Isotropic and Anisotropic Scatterers and Waveguides (2022), Modern Problems of Acoustics and Hydroacoustics (2022).
