Traverse waves transducers

These are transverse waves translators single piezoelectric element, designed to be applied directly on the workpiece surface. These translators create transverse waves with an incidence of 0 ° so without using the laws of refraction.

Benefits :

• The amplitude ratio between the transverse waves and longitudinal waves is greater than 30 dB on these translators
• The polarization direction of these translators is parallel to the radial outlet of the connector
• They can be used on a wide variety of materials.

Applications :

• Shear wave velocity measurements
• Measurement of Young’s modulus, elasticity coefficients
• Determining the stiffness constants of the stiffness tensor in the case of anisotropic materials
• Measurement of the acoustic birefringence coefficient
• Characterization of the size of grains of metallic materials
