Ultrasonic measurements of elastic moduli of composite materials have traditionally been made on either small specimens cut from a iar ger component or by using a scanning technique with the specimen immersed in a water bath. A phase-insensitive array has been developed for rapid nondestructive measurement of in-plane elastic moduli. The array characteristics allow for determinat ion of energy ...

Insight into a material’s high temperature mechanical and microstructural properties can be gained from knowledge of its elastic moduli. For a single-crystal material, the elastic modulus, Cijkl, provides information on the strain (εkl) stress (σij) relationship given by σij = Cijkl•εkl. This relationship shows that, for a given strain, a large elastic modulus will induce a large stress in the ...

Single-crystal Brillouin spectroscopy measurements have been carried out to 1073 K and ambient pressure to determine the elastic odulus tensor of a natural orthopyroxene, nearly pure Mg end-member (Mg0.994Fe0.002Al0.004)2(Si0.996Al0.004)2O6 orthoenstatite. hree single-crystal specimens with orthogonal crystallographic orientations were prepared for Brillouin measurements to determine ll the sin...

A new imaging modality framework, called elasto-mammography, is proposed to generate the elastograms of breast tissues based on conventional X-ray mammography. The displacement information is extracted from mammography projections before and after breast compression. Incorporating the displacement measurement, an elastography reconstruction algorithm is specifically developed to estimate the el...

BACKGROUND Studying mechanical properties of canine trabecular bone is important for a better understanding of fracture mechanics or bone disorders and is also needed for numerical simulation of canine femora. No detailed data about elastic moduli and degrees of anisotropy of canine femoral trabecular bone has been published so far, hence the purpose of this study was to measure the elastic mod...

[1] Room temperature investigations of the single-crystal elastic moduli and anisotropy of the phase of iron are performed up to 30.3 GPa using the radial X-ray diffraction technique. The accuracy of the calculated elastic moduli has improved compared to previous measurements using similar techniques because of an increase in accuracy of the measurement, confinement of the sample to limit the e...

Atomistic simulations are carried out for zeolite with ABW framework. The structure is modeled and force field simulations are preformed to investigate its elastic properties, bulk, shear modulus and auxeticity. Bulk moduli (Ks), Shear moduli (G), and Poissons ratios (ν) were found to be Ks=79.71725 GPa, G=16.93265 GPa, νxy = -0.2207, νxz= -0.5730, νyx= -0.71717, νyz=0.87013, νzx= -0.33097 and ...

As technology continues towards smaller, thinner and lighter devices, more stringent demands are placed on thin polymer films as diffusion barriers, dielectric coatings, electronic packaging and so on. Therefore, there is a growing need for testing platforms to rapidly determine the mechanical properties of thin polymer films and coatings. We introduce here an elegant, efficient measurement met...
