A method for determining cubic stiffness constants from polcrystalline Young's modulus and X-ray elastic constants is described. The relations used among these elastic constants are those based on Kröner's quasiisotropic model. The X-ray elastic constants required [S1(hkl)] are obtained by measuring various (hkl) d spacings of a stressed specimen under symmetric θ–2θ scan mode. An application to an Fe–31Ni alloy has given the results: C 11 = 1.47, C 12 = 1.05 and C 44 = 1.24 × 1011 Pa.

There are two general methods of measuring the elastic constants of bodies; one involves a study of the static deformation produced by the appropriate kind of stress, and the other a measurement of the period of oscillation of a system of known inertia under the elastic forces.

Sound velocities were measured in relaxor single-crystal plates, included in piezoelectric transducers for medical uses, using an ultrasonic precision thickness gauge with high-frequency pulse generation. The velocities were compared with the ones of piezoelectric ceramics in order to clarify characteristics of the single crystals. Estimating the difference in the sound velocities and elastic constants in the single crystals and ceramics, it was possible to evaluate effects of domain and grain boundaries on elastic constants. Existence of domain boundaries in single crystal affected the decrease in Young’s modulus, rigidity, Poisson’s ratio and bulk modulus. While existence of grain boundaries affected the decrease in Young’s modulus and rigidity, Poisson’s ratio and bulk modulus increased. It was thought these phinomina come from domain alignment by DC poling, and both the boundaries act as to absorb mechanical stress by defects due to the boundaries. In addition, the origin of piezoelectricity in single crystals is caused by low bulk modulus and Poisson’s ratio, and high Young’s modulus and rigidity in comparison with ceramics. On the contrary, the origin of piezoelectricity in ceramics is caused by high Poisson’s ratio by high bulk modulus, and furthermore, low Young’s modulus and rigidity due to domain alignment.

Contact curvature plays a pivotal role in the Young’s modulus determination and mechanical response of a particle. This paper presents the sensitivity analysis of a particle morphology to contact curvature and its influence on the Young’s modulus determination during the elastic deformation of a particle. X-ray computed micro-tomography (μCT) was conducted to obtain the prototype of a single particle. The digital information of the scanned particle, including 2D slices and 3D rendering was processed and the variation of contact curvature of the particle was examined using the circular (spherical at 3D) and polynomial fitting methods. The fitting sections of the particle are taken into account. The effect of contact curvature on Young’s modulus determination was investigated and it was found that Young’s modulus changed substantially from global fitting to local fitting. Young’s modulus is highly related to the surface roundness, which exerts a significant influence on the determination of Young’s modulus.

In polymer materials, residual stress introduced during injection molding affects yield reduction due to deformation during molding and delayed fracture during operation, so the establishment of nondestructive stress evaluation of polymer products is desirable. The X-ray elastic constants of polycarbonate were measured for the purpose of obtaining fundamental data for X-ray stress measurement of amorphous polymer materials. The structural function was obtained from the diffraction data, and the strain measured by X-ray was determined from the shift of the first peak by the Q-space method. The peak position was determined using the pseudo-Voigt function approximation method and the diffraction line width method. The Young’s modulus measured by X-ray obtained by the diffraction line width method was close to the mechanical value. Although these values varied widely, they changed depending on the peak ratio. A simple and practical measurement method directly using the raw profile data was also discussed. The Young’s modulus determined by the diffraction line width method decreased with increasing peak ratio. On the other hand, the values determined by the pseudo-Voigt method were almost constant, irrespective of the peak ratio. The strain calculated by the line width method was determined more accurately than that by the pseudo-Voigt method.
