This book offers a thorough and self-contained exposition of the mathematics of time-domain boundary integral equations associated to the wave equation, including applications to scattering of acoustic and elastic waves. The book offers two different approaches for the analysis of these integral equations, including a systematic treatment of their numerical discretization using Galerkin (Boundary Element) methods in the space variables and Convolution Quadrature in the time variable. The first approach follows classical work started in the late eighties, based on Laplace transforms estimates.

This book presents a collection of articles on novel approaches to problems of current interest in vibration control by academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers from all over the world. The book is a useful reference material for all engineering fraternities, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers.
