Pl. Rodriguez et al., ELASTIC-CONSTANTS OF THE MONOCLINIC 18R MARTENSITE OF A CU-ZN-AL ALLOY, Acta metallurgica et materialia, 41(11), 1993, pp. 3307-3310
The sound velocities of 15 propagation modes in an 18R single crystal
of a Cu-Zn-Al alloy have been measured by the pulse-echo method. The e
lasticity equations have been solved using a numerical selfconsistent
procedure, and the values of the 13 elastic constants of this monoclin
ic structure have been determined.
