Nonlinear Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy is a nondestructive acoustic method which is able to measure the bulk hysteretic nonlinearity. This method monitors the shift of the resonant frequency in response of variations in the excitation frequency amplitudes. Measurements were performed on concrete samples exposed to temperatures of 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 °C. The elastic modulus values are given to compare the Nonlinear Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (NRUS) sensitivity. These are calculated from the measured velocities of ultrasonic pulses (linear acoustic method) and from the bulk density. The strengths of the samples obtained by destructive methods are also given. Based on these results, the NRUS method can be described as a very sensitive indicator of damage in concrete.

The paper discusses the possibility of using resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy (RUS) as a source of information for the physics and technology of obtaining silicon carbide ceramics by the example of samples of the composition SiC ‒ 25 % AlN, obtained by the method of spark plasma sintering. The possibility of obtaining a complete set of elastic moduli (EM) of samples with an error of less than 1 % is shown. At the same time, the requirements for surface quality are significantly reduced. The revealed functional relationship between EM and porosity makes it possible to create a non-destructive method of porosity control and calculate the elastic moduli at zero porosity (i. e., the elastic modulus of the ceramic matrix EM0). Comparison of EM0 samples obtained at different parameters of the technological process allows determining their optima values..
