Abstracts The problem of local elastic properties measurement at part of construction is of great importance for estimation of active stresses and life service, especially for composites. Contact Laser-Ultrasonic Evaluation (CLUE) makes it possible to measure acoustic wave velocity with high precision at short path. Comparison with theoretical model of the stiffness matrix enables one to measure the complete set of elastic modulus. We measure the elastic modulus of isotropic solids and 1-D carbon fiber reinforced composite. For isotropic medium the velocity of longitudinal and shear wave was measured simultaneously. For the samples with the thickness greater, then 2 mm the accuracy was as high as (0.1-1)%. The resolution in lateral direction was ~3mm. For orthotropic 1-D CFRC opto-acoustic transducers of different schemes were explored to measure the ultrasonic wave velocity, propagating at different angles to the fibers. The accuracy of 1% was provided for the measurements. The applications of elastic modulus measurement with CLUE are discussed.

Laser-Ultrasonic Tomography of Mechanical Modulus To measure the complete set of elastic modulus of anisotropic solid it s necessary to determine the velocity of all types of acoustic wave quasi-longitudinal, quasi-shear propagating in various directions. The optoacoustic transducer discussed above provides the excitation of longitudinal wave normal to the surface. So, it s necessary to design the transducers provided measurement of the velocity of acoustic wave of another types and directions of propagation. They are discussed below.
