The single crystal elastic constants of aluminum have been measured using a piezoelectric composite oscillator from room temperature to just 20K below the melting point. The elastic moduli differ markedly from previous ...

Measurements of the elastic moduli of aluminum over the temperature range 300°–930°K are reported. These data together with those reported for T < 300°K, show that all elastic moduli, including the shear moduli, vary ...

The ultrasonic pulse technique has been used in conjunction with a specially devised cryogenic technique to measure the velocities of 10-Mc/sec acoustic waves in copper single crystals in the range from 4.2°K to 300°K. The ...

The composite piezoelectric oscillator is employed to measure the adiabatic elastic moduli of crystalline aluminum over the temperature interval 63'K to 773 K. The data permit a valid extrapolation to O'K. The Debye ...
