Acoustoelastic effect
ID: acoustoelastic-effect
The acoustoelastic effect refers to the phenomenon where the speed of sound waves in a material is affected by the applied stress or strain within that material. This effect is particularly significant in elastic solids and is often observed in materials that exhibit non-linear elastic behavior. In essence, the acoustoelastic effect describes how mechanical stress alters the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves.
