Abstract
In this study, the elastic constants of a titanium diboride (TiB2) sin gle crystal were measured using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. In c ontrast to previous work, the current results are consistent with the measured elastic constants of TiB2 polycrystals. In addition, the crys tal anisotropy of TiB2 was examined. The current data show that the el astic properties of TiB2 are much more isotropic than previously consi dered. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
