The Theory of the Moiré Phenomenon
by
Isaac Amidror

Welcome to the Web site of this book, the most comprehensive and methodical work on the theory of the moiré phenomenon.

Originally published by Kluwer in March 2000, this book is now accompanied by a second volume which is dedicated to the moiré phenomena between aperiodic or random layers. Both Vol. I and Vol. II are now availavle from Springer. A second, revised edition of Vol. I is currently available. Vol. II Vol. I, Ed. 2

These books provide a full, general purpose and application independent exposition of the moiré phenomenon. Vol. I is dedicated to the moiré effects that occur between periodic or repetitive layers, while Vol. II treats the moiré effects that occur between aperiodic or random layers.
Throughout the whole text the books favour a pictorial, intuitive approach which is supported by mathematics, and the discussion is accompanied by a large number of figures and illustrative examples, some of which are visually attractive and even spectacular.
Each volume contains about 500 pages, including a detailed glossary and more than 140 figures.

These books are intended for students, scientists, engineers and any readers who wish to widen their knowledge of the moiré effect; on the other hand they also offer a beautiful demonstration of the Fourier theory and its relationship with other fields of mathematics and science. The prerequisite mathematical background is limited to an elementary familiarity with calculus and with the Fourier theory.
