The effect of microstructure and fatigue on the acoustoelastic response of aerospace materials

This thesis presents work relating to the measurement of the nonlinear acoustoelastic response of several materials with respect to microstructure and fatigue life. The nonlinear acoustoelastic response measures the acoustoelastic coefficient of a material. During normal usage components are subject...
