Abstract
Thermal diffusion and thermoelastic vibration in two layer systems is studied using photoacoustic spectroscopy. Three different two layer systems, copper/lead–tin (Cu/Pb–Sn), aluminum/paint (Al/paint) and aluminum/polyvinyl-chloride (Al/PVC) are studied. A model is developed considering that both layers present thermoelastic vibration and heat diffusion. It is shown that our equations can be used to obtain the theoretical photoacoustic signal independent of the mechanical properties when the thermal and thermomechanical properties of the composing layers are similar. It is shown that this approximation is much better suited for the study of metal/metal systems where the coupling of the thermoelastic bending is smooth. The restrictions of this approach and the possible extensions to study systems with different thermal expansion and mechanical behavior are discussed.
