Popis: Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) is a mature and reliable technique for measuring the elastic stiffness constants of anisotropic materials. In highly processed materials such as additively manufactured metal parts, the anisotropic stiffnesses arrive from microstructures that contain grains with preferred orientations, which can result from directionally dependent thermal or mechanical processes. The connection between elastic stiffnesses and microstructure suggest the potential for RUS being used as a tool to characterize microstructure. This presentation will highlight modeling and experimental measurements in this direction. The RUS model is developed from a micromechanical foundation and includes structure-property linkages between the microstructure’s orientation distribution function and the macroscopic elastic constitutive behavior. The micromechanical basis allows efficient creation of a complete catalog containing all possible resonant behavior (resonant frequencies and mode shapes) of polycrystalline samples as a function of the possible textures. The second part of the presentation will focus on connecting experimentally measured resonances and mode shapes to a particular catalog entry. The inclusion of mode shape imaging in the analysis is expected to offer additional detail and potential for expanded characterization beyond texture and elastic stiffnesses.
