Ultrasonic velocity is directly connected to the elastic moduli and the density of a solid material. By analyzing ultrasonic shear and longitudinal wave velocities, the Young?s modulus and shear modulus can be determined and by this the Poisson ratio.
For the appropriate choice of ultrasonic wave with suitable frequency and intensity, the knowledge of some essential parameters related to transducer is important. The characteristic parameters of ultrasonic wave are: 1. Sound Field (Near field and far field): The sound field of a transducer is divided in two
b. Frequency, Period and Wavelength. Ultrasonic vibrations travel in the form of a wave, similar to the way light travels. However, unlike light waves, which can travel in a vacuum (empty space), ultrasound requires an elastic medium such as a liquid or a solid.
