In this paper, ultrasonic attenuation of engineering materials is evaluated comprehensively, covering metals, ceramics, polymers, fiber-reinforced composites, wood, and rocks. After verifying two reliable experimental methods, 336 measurements are conducted and their results are tabulated. Attenuation behavior is determined over broadband spectra, extending up to 15 MHz in low attenuating materials. The attenuation spectra are characterized in combination with four power law terms, with many showing linear frequency dependence, with or without Rayleigh scattering. Dislocation damping effects are re-evaluated and a new mechanism is proposed to explain some of the linear frequency dependencies. Additionally, quadratic and cubic dependencies due to Datta-Kinra scattering and Biwa scattering, respectively, are used for some materials to construct model relations. From many test results, some previously hidden behaviors emerged upon data evaluation. Effects of cold working, tempering, and annealing are complex and sometimes contradictory. Comparison to available literature was attempted for some, but most often prior data were unavailable. This collection of new attenuation data will be of value in materials selection and in designing structural health monitoring and non-destructive inspection protocols.

Transmission Sensitivities of Contact Ultrasonic Transducers and Their Applications

Kanji Ono, Hideo Cho, Hartmut Vallen, Robert T. M'Closkey

Summary: This study focuses on quantifying the transmission and receiving sensitivities of ultrasonic transducers and acoustic emission sensors, extending detection range to lower frequencies, exploring area and multiple sensing methods, and examining transducer loading effects. Results confirm that interfacial wave transmission follows wave propagation theory and that acoustic emission sensors' receiving sensitivity peaks at antiresonance.

Experimental Determination of Lamb-Wave Attenuation Coefficients

Kanji Ono

Summary: This study determined the attenuation coefficients of Lamb waves for ten engineering materials and compared them with calculated values. The Disperse program and a parametric method were used for calculations. The results showed good agreement between the experimental and theoretical values, confirming the predictive capability of the Disperse program. Further refinements in experimental methods are needed to reduce deviations.

Ultrasonic Attenuation of Ceramic and Inorganic Materials Using the Through-Transmission Method

Kanji Ono

Summary: The ultrasonic attenuation coefficients of ceramic and inorganic materials were determined, and a standardized method for ceramic attenuation measurements was found to be inconsistent. The frequency dependence of attenuation exhibited four types, with linear and linear plus f(4) being the most often observed. The study identified a wide range of attenuation behaviors and discussed the potential applications for characterizing intergranular boundaries in combination with imaging studies.
