چکیده

We present the results of a study of the elastic properties of Gd5Si2Ge2, an alloy with giant magnetocaloric, magnetostrictive, and colossal magnetoresistive properties. Sound wave velocities measured in a number of different geometries allowed us to determine the whole elastic tensor for the monoclinic phase of this material. The anisotropy of the crystal is explored using the polar plots of the variations in the main crystallographic planes of the sound speed, the Young’s modulus, the shear modulus, and the linear compressibility. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the Gd5Si2Ge2 properties is clarified. The acoustical axes are determined. The bulk modulus is estimated as 68.5 GPa; the Debye temperature is 250 K.

HIGH TEMPERATURE ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS

Abstract: A pulse-echo technique, based on ultrasonic "long-bar" mode (LBM) velocity measurements, working up to 1700°C is described. Magnetostrictive transducers and ultrasonic lines used in a 40-85 kHz frequency range are detailed. The conditions of choice of fundamental parameters (frequency, line geometry, sample size) are discussed in relation with the nature and the microstructure of ...

Critical evaluation of pulse-echo ultrasonic test method for the determination of setting and mechanical properties of acrylic bone cement: influence of mixing technique.

Currently there is no reliable objective method to quantify the setting properties of acrylic bone cements within an operating theatre environment. Ultrasonic technology can be used to determine the acoustic properties of the polymerising bone cement, which are linked to material properties and provide indications of the physical and chemical changes occurring within the cement. The focus of th...

Using the Ultrasonic Nondestructive Methods for Prediction of Mechanical Properties of AISI 4140 Alloy Steel

Achieving the mechanical properties of steels after various manufacturing and heat treatment processes is significant and essential. In production lines, after producing the specific and standard samples, mechanical properties have been measured by destructive processes which cause waste of cost and time. In addition, destructive techniques cannot detect the miniscule changes made in mechanical...

Characteristics of echo signal of pulse ultrasound on boiling two-phase flow

Pulse ultrasound technique has been applied to measure the reflected echo signals from vapor bubbles in boiling two-phase flow. In this study, an ultrasonic transducer was developed for the ultrasonic measurement in boiling two-phase flow under the atmospheric pressure. Since the Curie point of piezoelements of the transducer is above 250 ̊C, it has an allowable temperature limit of 120 ̊C. The b...
