Sv. Bogdanov, DETERMINATION OF THE ELASTIC AND PIEZOELECTRIC CONSTANTS OF CRYSTALS BY AN ACOUSTICAL METHOD, Acoustical physics, 41(5), 1995, pp. 661-666
An acoustical method is proposed for the determination of the elastic
c(ijkl)(E) and piezoelectric e(npq) constants of cubic crystals of cla
sses 23 and ($) over bar 4 3m, tetragonal crystals of classes 422 and
($) over bar 4 2m, hexagonal crystals of class 622, and orthorhombic c
rystals of class 222. The method is based on measurements of the phase
velocities of plane ultrasonic waves in large-size samples, in which
these velocities are equal to those in unbounded crystals.
