TLDR
In this paper, the effect of grain size distribution on the measured acoustic nonlinearity of polycrystalline engineering materials is investigated, and the results predict that the existing models that account for only the mean grain size when characterizing material degradations need to be modified more comprehensively to include the role of grain sizes distribution.
Abstract
The effect of grain size distribution on the measured acoustic nonlinearity of polycrystalline engineering materials is investigated. Results are provided for two austenitic stainless steel materials with comparable mean grain sizes and distinct distribution widths assuming equiaxed grains and random crystallographic orientation. The distribution width is shown to influence the nonlinearity parameter considerably. On the material with a wider distribution, a reduced nonlinearity was noted, and comparable trends were also noted for different frequencies investigated. The results predict that the existing models that account for only the mean grain size when characterizing material degradations need to be modified more comprehensively to include the role of grain size distribution.

Application of Rayleigh wave-based nonlinearity parameter to estimate the remnant useful life of fatigued thick aluminum plates

TL;DR: In this paper, Rayleigh waves are propagated through a thick aluminum (Al) plate to evaluate its material nonlinearity based on the second harmonic produced in the response, and numerical simulations are carried out on the pristine and fatigued thick Al specimens, and an amplitude-based Rayleigh wave nonlinear parameter is used to characterize the material non-linearity.

Experimental study of thermal degradation in ferritic Cr-Ni alloy steel plates using nonlinear Lamb waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thermal degradation in ferritic Cr-Ni alloy steel plates using the nonlinear effect of Lamb wave propagation and found that the measured acoustic nonlinearity increases due to the second phase precipitates in the early stage and decreases as a combined result of dislocation change and micro-void initiation in the material.

Determination of precipitate nucleation and growth rates from ultrasonic harmonic generation

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model based on precipitate-dislocation interactions is presented that predicts a decrease in ultrasonic harmonic generation during the nucleation of precipitates and an increase during precipitate growth up to the point of precipitatematrix coherency loss.
