This book is the first to apply the Spectral Finite Element Method (SFEM) to inhomogeneous and
anisotropic structures in a unified and systematic manner. Readers will gain understanding of
how to formulate Spectral Finite Element learn about wave behaviour in inhomogeneous and
anisotropic media and be able to design some diagnostic tools for monitoring the health of a
structure. Tables figures and graphs support the theory and case studies are included.
