Acknowledgments
Work on this book was partially sponsored by the Center of Aerospace Research and Education at the University of California at Irvine. I highly appreciate support by the director of this center, Dr. Satya N. Atluri.
Many thanks go to Dr. A.V. Kaptsov for his professional advice, which helped greatly in my work with FORTRAN and SIGMA-PLOT programs.
During the preparation of this book I often appealed to my sons Ivan and Vladimir with requests to check and improve my English and to fix computer problems. I am thankful for their assistance.
Thanks are also due to E.V. Jull, K.M. Mitzner, Y. Rahmat-Samii, and A.J. Terzuoli, Jr. for their review of the manuscript and valuable comments.
This book includes, in revised form, materials from certain articles I wrote for the journals Zhurnal Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki (Russia), Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (United States), Annals of Telecommunications (France), and Electromagnetics (United States). I thank the editorial boards of the journals for their permission to use these materials.
