Theory and application of laser ultrasonic shear wave birefringence measurements to the determination of microstructure orientation in transversely isotropic, polycrystalline graphite materials

Journal Article Zeng, Fan W. ; Contescu, Cristian I. ; Gallego, Nidia C. ; ... - Carbon

Laser ultrasonic line source methods have been used to study elastic anisotropy in nuclear graphites by measuring shear wave birefringence. Depending on the manufacturing processes used during production, nuclear graphites can exhibit various degrees of material anisotropy related to preferred crystallite orientation and to microcracking. In this paper, laser ultrasonic line source measurements of shear wave birefringence on NBG-25 have been performed to assess elastic anisotropy. Laser line sources allow specific polarizations for shear waves to be transmitted – the corresponding wavespeeds can be used to compute bulk, elastic moduli that serve to quantify anisotropy. These modulus values can bemore »« less

Line-source Representation for Laser-generated Ultrasound in an Elastic Transversely Isotropic Half Space

Journal Article Hurley, David H - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Theoretical and experimental results are presented for a laser line source in an elastic, transversely isotropic half-space. The thermoelastic source (laser source) is represented as an appropriately weighted shear stress dipole applied at the sample surface. The plane of isotropy coincides with the half-space boundary. Analytical expressions representing the out-of-plane displacements for the surface wave and for the epicentral cases are given for all crystal classes that exhibit elastic transverse isotropy. In addition, quasianalytical results are given for observation points off the epicentral axis. Theoretical wave forms for all of the source/observation geometries considered are compared with experimental wave formsmore »« less

Narrow-band hybrid pulsed laser/EMAT system for noncontact ultrasonic inspection using angled shear waves

Journal Article Oursler, D A ; Wagner, J W - Materials Evaluation

Angled, shear wave ultrasonic testing using piezoelectric transducers has been used in industry for years to inspect the plate welds of steel vessels. This method`s reliance on viscous surface couplants limits its reproducibility as well as its applicability for testing surfaces at elevated temperatures. In this work, a pulsed laser/meander line EMAT (electromagnetic acoustic transducer) system was demonstrated to perform testing using vertically polarized, angled, shear waves. This capability was augmented with a narrow-bandwidth laser excitation technique to increase signal-to-noise ratio. The system was tested on both aluminum and steel plates containing saw cuts to mimic cracks. Finally, a steelmore »« less
Measurement of the Viscosity-Density Product Using Multiple Reflections of Ultrasonic Shear Horizontal Waves

Journal Article Greenwood, Margaret S ; Adamson, Justus D ; Bond, Leonard J - Ultrasonics, 44(Suppl. 1):e1031-31036

We have developed an on-line computer-controlled sensor, based on ultrasound reflection measurements, to determine the product of the viscosity and density of a liquid or slurry for Newtonian fluids and the shear impedance of the liquid for non-Newtonian fluids. A 14-MHz shear wave transducer is bonded to one side of a 45°-90° fused silica wedge and the base is in contract with the liquid. Twenty-eight echoes were observed due to the multiple reflections of an ultrasonic shear horizontal (SH) wave within the wedge. The fast Fourier transform of each echo is obtained for a liquid and for water, which servesmore »« less
