More Information
Summary:Disclosed and described herein are systems and methods used to analyze ultrasonic waves and nondestructively infer acoustic wave velocities and dynamic elastic properties of materials. Disclosed methods employ the selective rotation of ultrasonic transducers immersed in a liquid (water) adjacent to the sample under study. L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés utilisés pour analyser des ondes ultrasonores et inférer de manière non destructive des vitesses d'ondes acoustiques et des propriétés élastiques dynamiques de matériaux. Les procédés de l'invention utilisent la rotation sélective de transducteurs ultrasonores immergés dans un liquide (eau) adjacent à l'échantillon soumis à l'étude.
