Scattering of Elastic Waves by Obstacles in Solids (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781036406318)

Anders Boström obtained an MSc in Engineering Physics in 1975 and a PhD in Mathematical Physics in 1980, both from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. He became professor and chair of mechanics in 1986 at Chalmers and professor emeritus in 2018. Among other positions he has been head of department. He has supervised more than 20 PhD students and has published more than 80 papers in international journals. He has been active in national and international scientific organizations and he has conducted many reviews (typically 10-15 per year) for international journals. His research interests include wave propagation and scattering in elastic solids, primarily with analytical methods, with applications in such areas as nondestructive evaluation, material characterization, and ground vibrations.
