Shear Wave Transducers

SM, SB, SD-style Shear Wave Transducers

These model transducers introuce shear waves directly into the test piece without the use of refraction. Generated shear wave propagate perpendicular to the test surface. Ratio of the longitudinal to shear wave component is very low. Direction of the shear wave polarization is normally in line with side connector, other is marked.

Applications:

• Shear wave velocity measurements.
• Material chracterization.
• Calculation of Young's Modulus of elasticity and shear modulus.

SM-style Direct Shear Wave Transducers

• Knurled stainless steel case with side connector.
• Proprietary wear resistive front plate increases durability.
• SM-style with Microdot connector is ideal for limited access areas or smaller samples.

SB-style Direct Shear Wave Transducers

• Knurled stainless steel case with side connector.
• Proprietary wear resistive front plate increases durability.
• SB-style with BNC connector for lower frequencies and larger element diamters.

SD-style Direct Shear Wave Transducers

• Integral Delay line allows to achieve higher frequencies.
• Proprietary delay line material chosen to minimize attenuation.
• SD-style with Microdot connector is standard.
