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.

AbstractThe problem of the determination of the overall dynamic elastic moduli of an elastic solid permeated by uniformly distributed penny-shaped cracks is considered. The cracks are assumed to be filled with a viscoelastic material. The orientations of the cracks may be either parallel or perfectly random. The overall velocities as well as the specific attenuation coefficients of plane harmonic compressional and shear waves are calculated for low frequencies and dilute concentration of the cracks.
