Abstract

Resonance ultrasound microscopy is developed for quantitatively measuring local Young’s modulus of solid surfaces, using monocrystal langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) as a probing oscillator. The langasite oscillator is acoustically isolated so that the contact with the specimen only affects the vibration, making the quantitative measurement possible. The vibrational analysis is proposed to calculate the local stiffness and local damping from the resonance frequency and internal friction of the oscillator, respectively. This method is applied to a polycrystalline copper and a SiC fiber as illustrative examples.
