Abstract:
The temperature dependence of Young's modulus and the shear modulus of polycrystalline alumina is given over the range of 25 to 1000 °C. Results are expressed in terms of the dimensionless ratio: modulus value at temperature divided by modulus value at 25 °C. These results are intended for use with Standard Reference Material No. 718 which is intended for calibration of apparatus used to determin elastic moduli of solids by a resonance technique. The worst agreement is 9.5 × 10-4 for the flexure and 19.1 × 10-4 for the torsion, between any two individual measurements, and we recommend these as the minimum acceptable limits in using the standards.

The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by a...
