In this study, small size transducers, and a high power, high performance pulse/receiver were used to excite and receive ultrasound propagation along the surface of a duralumin block with a 16-bit digital oscilloscope utilized to survey the signal. We observed the front part of an S-wave propagating with S-wave velocity along the surface, although the full waveform of the S-wave was not measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
