Material Characterisation of Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) and Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) by means of Ultrasonic Spectroscopy
- For prediction of wave propagation in multilayered structures it is necessary to know the material properties. Important parameters are sound velocity (c) and attenuation ( ). Values found in the literature were not satisfactory mainly due to insufficient accuracy of measured attenuation. Experiments were carried out in Division VI.3 - Durability of Polymers. The ultrasonic test equipment was provided by Divisions VIII.1 - Measurement and Testing Technology; Sensors and VIII.4 - Acoustical and Electromagnetical Methods.
