Wavespeeds Measurements in Anisotropic Materials by Using Laser Generated Ultrasound

Wavespeed measurements made on the quasi-longitudinal (qL) mode have been achieved in two composite materials (i.e. a 1-D glass/epoxy and a 2-D SiClSiC) by using a correlation algorithm between the measurement signal at a given observation angle, and a reference signal recorded at normal incidence. The wavespeed measurement at normal incidence is obtained, when possible, by correlating the dire...

Male Wistar rats (200-300 g) were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital (90 mg.kg). The hearts were rapidly removed and placed in a cold (4°C) oxygenated Bicarbonate-buffered solution (in mM): NaCl 125; KCl 5; MgSO4 2; KH2PO4 2; NaHCO3 25; glucose 10. They were cannulated through the aorta on a Langendorff column and retrogradely perfused at a constant flow and at 37...
