Abstract
The method of determination of elastic moduli for different materials by means of measuring of longitudinal and shear waves’ velocities is discussed in the paper. The velocities are measured by obtaining the time of flight between a pair of low frequency ultrasonic dry point contact transducers installed on the surface of the studied material sample. Factors defining the accuracy of such measurement are indicated which mainly consist of physical velocity frequency dispersion, fundamental although small differences between static and dynamic elastic moduli measurements, velocity dependence on temperature etc. Comparison between Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, obtained experimentally and from table data, is given for various plastics and steel samples. It shows good agreement of different methods’ data and demonstrates the applicability of the suggested elastic moduli ultrasonic sub-surface measurement method.
