Resonant Ultrasound

• Characterization and inspection of mechanical integrity of ceramic specimens and components.

• Resonance spectrum generated by sweeping frequency of ultrasound signal applied to component and by detecting resonance frequencies of component.

• Applicable to determining with high accuracy the full elastic constants of isotropic and anisotropic materials (e.g., single crystals, textured polycrystals, and composites).
