Ultrasonic characterization of texture

This paper will propose a new technique to characterize texture of rolled plates of cubic crystallites. This technique uses information from ultrasonic velocities of high order plate mode to improve the estimation of orientation distribution coefficients (ODC's), especially W400. Also discussed will be the generalization of this technique to the case of hexagonal crystallites.
