Summary The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the density, the ultrasonic velocities and the microstructure of spruce and cherry wood has been studied. Generally speaking, under hydrostatic pressure wood becomes less heterogeneous and less anisotropic than natural wood. In spruce, crushing and buckling of the thin-walled cells in the earlywood takes place. This also has the effect of disrupting the medullary rays, which assume a zig-zag path through the structure. Cherry has a much more homogeneous structure, and the main effect of the hydrostatic pressure is compaction of the vessels by buckling of the walls. The fibres are scarcely affected by the treatment. The width of the earlywood zone decreased after the application of pressure by 26% in spruce, and by 11% in cherry. The average density was increased by the hydrostatic pressure by 26% for spruce and by 46% for cherry. The densitometric profile of spruce demonstrates significant changes following the pressure treatment, with the minimum density DMin increasing and the maximum density DMax decreasing. For cherry, the densitometric profile is shifted rather uniformly towards higher densities, and the annual ring profile is spatially slightly compacted but otherwise similar to that of untreated wood. The anisotropy of wood (expressed by the ratio of acoustic invariants) decreased by 56% for spruce and by 33% for cherry. The structural damage in spruce is predominantly found in the radial (R) direction, and this corresponds to a reduction of 73% in the velocity of the longitudinal ultrasonic waves in the radial direction, VRR. In cherry, the structural damage is mainly in the transverse, T direction. The velocity of the longitudinal ultrasonic waves in the transverse direction, VTT is reduced by 44%. The medullary rays in cherry seem to be the most important anatomical feature influencing the propagation of ultrasonic waves.

Longitudinal Ultrasonic Waves

The absorption of longitudinal ultrasonic waves has been studied as a function of transverse magnetic field in pure single crystals of lead at 1.2 °K. The results were found to be generally consistent with the Fermi surface of lead suggested by Gold. In particular a detailed study of the magneto-acoustic oscillations, as a function of sample orientation and field direction, allowed the determination of some of the dimensions of the hole surface in the second Brillouin zone and revealed a number of new electronic orbits on the multiply-connected surface in the third zone. The absolute magnitude of the attenuation and its dependence on propagation direction and on magnetic field was studied and the results interpreted in terms of the general theory of ultrasonic absorption.

AbstractAttenuation and velocity of longitudinal ultrasonic waves have been measured in a-Se in the vicinity of the glass transition. Both quantities are shown to be affected significantly by the stabilization process below the glass transition temperature Tg. Equilibrium values of sound velocity are also reported for the range 25 °C to 45 °C. The decrease (increase) of attenuation (velocity) during stabilization is reversed at higher temperatures. The connection of both quantities is discussed in terms of an effective temperature which allows the approximate determination of equilibrium values of attenuation (and possibly of other structure related properties) from measurements performed in nonequilibrium states.
