From the longitudinal and shear wave velocities measured in a solid, all of its elastic constants can be determined. Jamieson and Hoskins (1963) have shown how shear wave velocities can be measured in solids with an arrangement which converts high frequency longitudinal wave pulses from axially polarized ceramic transducers into shear wave pulses. This note illustrates how such elastic constants can also be determined with the aid of longitudinal “infinite plate” velocities.
