Normal incidence shear wave transducers<br />

Advantages:<br />

1. Generate shear waves which propagate perpendicular to the test surface<br />

2. For ease of alignment, the direction of the polarization of shear wave is<br />

nominally in line with the right angle connector<br />

3. The ratio of the longitudinal to shear wave components is generally below<br />

-30 dB<br />

Applications:<br />

1. Shear wave velocity measurements<br />

2. Calculation of Young's Modulus of elasticity and shear modulus (see<br />

Technical <strong>Notes</strong>, page 46)<br />

3. Characterization of material grain structure<br />
