Alloys with Acoustic Properties
Ion Hopulele, Mihai Axinte, Carmen Nejneru · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
Considering that, in Accordance with the Laws of Physics, the Sound Travels only through Elastic Bodies, the Main Characteristic of an Acoustic Material is the Elasticity. Classifying the Metallic Materials in this Regard is Quite Difficult, as the Elasticity is Characterized by more than One Component (static Elastic Modulus, Dynamic Elastic Modulus, Static Elastic Limit, Elastic Limit, Elastic Deformation Linearity, Damping Capacity). Best Acoustic Properties of some Metallic Materials are Widely Used in the Construction of Transducers, Musical Instruments, Bells Etc. for this Purpose, a Study on Three Metallic Materials was Conducted: a Cusn Alloy for Bells, a Cast Aluminum Alloy and a Martensitic Cast Iron. this Study Highlights both the Chemical Composition, Structure, Mechanical Properties and Damping Capacity of Sounds.
