Abstract
Abstract A computer-driven, swept-frequency measurement technique is developed on the basis of resonance birefringence acoustoelasticity to evaluate the stresses in thin plates. The resonance frequency depends on the thickness and the elastic wave velocity; they change with stress because of the Poisson effect and the acoustoelastic effect. The resonance frequency is obtained from the spectral response curve in the electric impedance of the piezoelectric transducer. The frequency displacement induced by acoustically coupling the transducer can be minimized by employing the resonance peak closest to the transducer fundamental frequency. To illustrate the method, the residual stress is measured in butt-welded aluminum alloy plates and is compared with the results of conventional methods.
