A study of an electric method to excite and detect acoustic waves in solids

Author

John H. Stevens

Abstract

"This experiment has demonstrated that it is possible to generate pulses of acoustic waves in an aluminum single crystal by the direct use of the tensile stress associated with an electric field at the surface of a conductor, and it is possible to detect these waves with a biased, capacitive pickup transducer"--Abstract, page ii.
