Abstract

“Ultrasonic waves have proved very valuable in the observation of both the velocity and the absorption coefficient of sound in various media. From the velocity measurements of ultrasonic waves in metals, it is possible to obtain elastic constants, such as the compressibility, and the specific heat. Also, the observed attenuation depends greatly on the type and structure of the material. One of the widely used methods for investigation of the internal losses in solid state physics is the pulse-echo technique. This method is being used almost exclusively in internal friction investigation"--Introduction, page 1.
