Abstract

A new correlation between ultrasonic shear wave velocity and Poisson’s ratio has been established for isotropic solid materials, based on the data generated experimentally and collected from the literature. Poisson’s ratio has been found to decrease with increasing ultrasonic velocity in various solid materials such as metals and alloys, ceramics and glasses, intermetallics and polymers. The slope of the plot of the ultrasonic velocity against Poisson’s ratio is found to be almost constant for any given alloy system with different microstructures associated with various heat treatments, alloying elements, grain size, temperature effect, etc. Further, it has been demonstrated that ultrasonic shear wave velocity is a better parameter for materials characterization as compared to longitudinal wave velocity.
