Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Hardware Complex Akustpol to Determine Elastic-Anisotropic Properties of Solid Materials Gorbatsevich F.F., Kovalevsky M.V. Ultrasonic devices are distinguished by the ability to obtain highly accurate and reliable data on the properties and structure of materials. However, existing equipment using only longitudinal waves is not entirely suitable for studying the parameters of anisotropic materials. The use of shear (transverse) waves opens up new perspectives in the study of these materials. Based on the acoustopolarization method, the AKUSTPOL hardware complex has been developed, which makes it possible to determine the number and direction of elastic elements of both highly and low symmetrical samples of anisotropic materials and to assess the degree of their heterogeneity. Keywords: AKUSTPOL complex, transducer, shear waves, acoustopolariscope, elastic anisotropy, crystal, rock, sample. DOI: 10.25791/infi zik.8.2024.1418 Pp. 03-13.
