Abstract: Acoustoelasticity has recently been used for the nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses. In making such measurements the assumption has been made that the plastic flow leading to the ...

Abstract: Estimates of the effective second-order and third-order elastic constants of a polycrystalline aggregate exhibiting texture are presented for the case of orthotropic sample symmetry and cubic ...

Abstract: The deformation gradient of a thermoelastic solid undergoing large deformations is decomposed into elastic and thermal components, corresponding to an intermediate configuration which is assumed ...

Abstract: A theory for surface waves in an anisotropic material is developed in the framework of acoustoelasticity in which the material’s strain energy density is taken to be a cubic function in the ...

Abstract: The variation in Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of metals during uniaxial deformation is examined. Predictions are made on the basis of a nonlinear description of the constitutive relation ...

Abstract: A technique for the complete nondestructive evaluation of plane states of residual stress is presented. This technique is based on the acoustoelastic effect in which the presence of the residual ...

Abstract: Acoustoelasticity is a nondestructive technique used for determining applied and residual stresses in structural materials. It is based on the fact that as a material undergoes deformation, the ...
