An oil immersion ultrasonic method used for measuring elastic and visc
oelastic properties of materials versus temperature is presented. From
velocity and amplitude measurements, the complex viscoelastic tensor
can be entirely determined from room temperature to temperatures near
the glass transition temperature of the material. This tensor permits
the computation of velocities and attenuations of heterogeneous or hom
ogeneous modes in any direction of wave propagation. A micromechanics
model is used to compare experimental results with theoretical ones an
d to analyze anisotropic elastic and viscoelastic behavior of composit
e materials, (C) 1997 Acoustical Society of America. [S0001-4966(97)01
