Facile measurement of single-crystal elastic constants from polycrystalline samples

Mechanical properties: a simpler method for determining elasticity A method for measuring the elastic properties of a material even with a less than perfect sample is demonstrated by scientists in the USA. Xinpeng Du and Ji-Cheng (J.C.) Zhao from The Ohio State University develop a simple experiment...
