Abstract
The features of using the acoustic method for accurately determining the concentration of components in two-component composite materials by measuring the speed of sound of long waves are described in this paper. Furthermore, explicit expressions for the volume concentrations of the matrix material and reinforcing particles or fibers of composite materials obtained by acoustic measurements are found. In addition, the advantages, features, and limits of the application of acoustic quality control of composite materials of various compositions and purposes are described. It is established that the methods for determining the concentration of components are valid for all types of composite materials, which are conveniently considered as phonon crystals. These results make it possible to more accurately determine or select a measuring cell for the experimental determination of the speed of sound. The mathematical problem to be solved is a purely exact inverse problem.
