Theory of Harmonic Generation of Finite Amplitude Ultrasonic Waves in Solids of Hexagonal Symmetry.
Abstract
The Technical Report gives a complete analysis of the theory of propagation of a finite amplitude ultrasonic wave in a nonlinear crystal of hexagonal symmetry along the symmetry axis and along any direction in the basal plane. From the theory we conclude that at least four of the ten third order elastic constants can be evaluated from harmonic generation measurements in the appropriate directions in hexagonal crystals.
