Abstract
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is a non-destructive technique to describe the elastic tensor of a material through inversion of a sampleâs measured resonance frequencies. The original RUS approach is limited to simple geometries as it uses a semi-analytical method to simulate the vibrational response. We modified this approach by combining the finite-element method with genetic algorithm. The new approach is applicable to systems with composite materials, complex geometries, and misaligned material and geometry axes. We present recent work focused on the response of a graphite-TZM composite system. We find composite material properties only vary a few percent from results from single-material RUS. Results from varied geometries and materials suggest further optimizations to enhanced RUS.
