Abstract

In this paper a measurement procedure to identify viscoelastic material parameters of plate-like samples using broadband ultrasonic waves is presented. Ultrasonic Lamb waves are excited via the thermoelastic effect using laser radiation and detected by a piezoelectric transducer. The resulting measurement data is transformed to yield information about multiple propagating Lamb waves as well as their attenuation. These results are compared to simulation results in an inverse procedure to identify the parameters of an elastic and a viscoelastic material model.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag wird ein Messverfahren zur Bestimmung viskoelastischer Materialparameter von plattenförmigen Proben mit breitbandigen Ultraschallwellen vorgestellt. Ultraschall-Lambwellen werden über den thermoelastischen Effekt mittels Laserstrahlung angeregt und von einem piezoelektrischen Wandler detektiert. Transformationen der Messdaten liefern Information über die sich ausbreitenden Lamb-Wellen und deren Dämpfung. Diese Ergebnisse werden in einem inversen Verfahren mit Simulationsergebnissen verglichen, um die Parameter eines elastischen und eines viskoelastischen Materialmodells zu identifizieren.
