Abstract
An acoustic microscope with a cylindrical lens and ultrasound transducer have been considered, as well as the method based on it for the measuring of longitudinal and transverse wave velocities, the thickness and density of the investigated layer. A theoretical model of the microscope has been constructed, and the relation between the spatiotemporal output signal of the transducer and the angular dependence of the sample reflection coefficient has been found. It has been shown that the velocities of body waves and the thickness can be determined by the delays of ultrasound responses reflected from the layer boundaries measured by the transducer elements, and the density, by the amplitudes of these responses. The method was tested experimentally using a 20-element transducer with a central frequency of 15 MHz and a period of 0.8 mm. The example of a duralumin plate has shown that the error in measuring the thickness and velocity of longitudinal waves error does not exceed 1%; the velocity of transverse waves, 2%; and the density can be estimated with an accuracy of about 5%.
