ABSTRACTCuring reactions of linear vinyl terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) with a four functional hydride silane crosslinker at various stoichiometric ratios, were studied by wave propagation at ultrasonic frequencies. Longitudinal wave velocity was found to be sensitive to the covalent endlinking, and gel point in these systems.The observed changes in longitudinal wave velocity during the reaction are governed by changes in the bulk modulus of the system.

This short brief develops a model for the velocity of longitudinal wave propagation in auxetic rods. Due to the large density change in auxetic solids and significant lateral deformation for Poisson's ratio between −1 and −0.5, this note takes into consideration density correction and lateral inertia. Results show that deviation from the elementary wave propagation model becomes more significant the more the Poisson's ratio of the rod material deviates from 1/4, in which the deviation of wave velocity is insignificant for Poisson's ratio in the positive range, but significant in the negative range. Specifically, the tensile and compressive wave velocity increases and decreases, respectively, for Poisson's ratio less than 1/4, but this trend reverses for Poisson's ratio greater than 1/4. In addition to showing that the elementary wave propagation model is invalid for describing the longitudinal wave velocity in auxetic rods, the results also suggest that auxetic materials are useful for applications that require slowing down and speeding up of compressive and tensile wave propagations, respectively.

Mullite material is a material commonly used in honeycomb regenerator, because in the process of using material under big temperature difference effect, so have a great demand for its thermal shock resistance. The used mullite ceramics were made by the direct solid phase sintering method, and the modulus of elasticity of the mullite ceramics measured by ultrasonic pulse-echo method in a thermal shock and thermal fatigue experiment, respectively. In the air-cooling condition, the study found the mullite ceramic without thermal shock that the longitudinal wave velocity and shear wave velocity respectively 3970(m/s) and 2492(m/s). After 45 times thermal shock of temperature difference of 800°C, longitudinal wave velocity and shear wave velocity decreased to 3910(m/s) and 2457(m/s), and the value of the modulus of elasticity changed 1020MPa. By observing the change of the elastic modulus value rule, can know the elastic deformation of thermal shock on the material performance of thermal shock damage. Moreover, the results can provide the data basis for the calculation of the residual strength and the numerical simulation of thermal stress.

Concerned with the longitudinal wave velocity changes under plastic deformation in pure shear state, the experimental results of longitudinal wave velocity are categorized to two types: (i) simple decreasing change tendency at polished surface specimens, and (ii) chaotic change tendency at unpolished surface specimens. In the present paper, the effects of surface roughness and crystal orientation on the amount of cross slip under plastic deformation are studied via finite element polycrystal model (FEPM) from the viewpoint of longitudinal wave velocity change showing a sensitive response to the point defects caused by cross slip.
