Bayesian inference of elastic properties with resonant ultrasound spectroscopy.

Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy: application to noninvasive examination of some medical prosthesis

This paper presents to use the Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) as nondestructive examination method for determination of the density changing, elastic and geometrical properties of the object to be examined. The method is applied at the noninvasive evaluation of the femoral head prosthetic and of the artificial cervical discs made from yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia. This method d...

Elastic properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses studied by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy

Measuring Dislocation Density in aluminum with Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy

Dislocations in a material will, when present in enough numbers, change the speed of propagation of elastic waves. Consequently, two material samples, differing only in dislocation density, will have different elastic constants, a quantity that can be measured using Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy. Measurements of this effect on aluminum samples are reported. They compare well with the predict...

Determination of elastic moduli of rock samples using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy.

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is a method whereby the elastic tensor of a sample is extracted from a set of measured resonance frequencies. RUS has been used successfully to determine the elastic properties of single crystals and homogeneous samples. In this paper, we study the application of RUS to macroscopic samples of mesoscopically inhomogeneous materials, specifically rock. Parti...

Investigation of bovine bone by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and transmission ultrasound.

The method of resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy (RUS) was evaluated for bovine bone and compared with the traditional wave transmission ultrasound method. In RUS, the resonance structure of a cubic or rectangular specimen is scanned. For some low-damping materials, a single measurement yields sufficient resonant frequencies to determine all of the anisotropic elastic constants. Bone has a high v...
