Friday, March 1, 1996 4:00 p.m. Dr. David T. Blackstock Mechanical Engineering Department The University of Texas at Austin and Applied Research Laboratories The history of developments in nonlinear acoustics, from Euler (1755) to Lord Rayleigh (1910) is described. Results that are taken for granted today, such as the propagation speed for a finite-amplitude wave…
