Shear waves in solid state materials

Principle

An echoscope is used to measure the emergence of longitudinal and transverse waves when sound passes through flat rectangular blocks made of differing materials. The relationship between amplitude and angle can be used to determine the speed of sound in the blocks in longitudinal and transverse directions and these results can then be used to determine the coefficient of elasticity for those materials.
