Abstract:Adequate knowledge of the materials through characterization during the development, production, and processing of the material is required for quality assurance and in-service safety. Material characterization involves the evaluation of properties such as elastic coefficients, material microstructures, morphological features, and associated mechanical properties. Ultrasonic signals are sensitive to useful acoustic properties, including wave speeds, attenuation, diffusion backscattering, variations in microstr… Show more
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.
