Abstract
Resonance ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is a nondestructive technique for evaluating elastic and an-elastic material properties. The frequencies of free vibrations for a carefully crafted sample are measured, and material properties can be extracted from this. In one popular application, the determination of monocrystal elasticity, the results are not always reliable. In some cases, the resonant frequencies are insensitive to changes in certain elastic constants or their linear combinations. Previous work has been done to characterize these sensitivity issues in materials with isotropic and cubic symmetry. This work examines the sensitivity of elastic constant measurements by the RUS method for materials with hexagonal symmetry, such as titanium-diboride. We investigate the reliability of RUS data and explore supplemental measurements, namely, surface acoustic wave (SAW) to obtain an accurate and complete set of elastic constants.
