Further Information
In nondestructive micro-characterization, elastic constants are generally expressed in terms of velocities of longitudinal waves, VL, and transverse waves, VT. However, it is often difficult to determine these velocities by a single measurement. In this context, we propose the derivation of new expressions according to only one parameter: VL, VT or Rayleigh velocity, VR. Thus, by using Viktorov formula and certain acceptable physically approximations, deduced, for any material of density p the following relations: E = 0.757 ρVL2, E = 2.586 ρVT2, E = 2.99 ρVR2, G = 0.293 ρVL2 and G = 1.156 ρVR2.The validity of these relations is put into evidence for a large number of materials (Al, Cd, Fe, Mg, Mo, Ti, W, Pt, Ni, etc) characterized by fast, medium or slow velocities. Excellent precisions of 0.007 % and 0.009 % were obtained respectively for G = f(VL) with Mo and for E = f(VT) with Fe. These very encouraging results find their applications in acoustic microscopy into which only one surface mode often dominates the acoustic materials signatures, V(z).
