ABSTRACT:
A method for measuring the complex frequency-dependent dilatational and shear wavespeeds of a slab of material subjected to insonification. Transfer functions that are obtained by insonifying the material at different angles. Once this is accomplished, the transfer functions are manipulated with an inverse method to yield closed form values of dilatational and shear wavespeeds at any test frequency. The wavespeeds can be combined to determine complex Lamé constants, complex Young's modulus, complex shear modulus, and complex Poisson's ratio.
