Elastic Constant of Adansonia Digitata AnD in Anisotropic Longitudinal Direction by Non Destructive Method

Abstract:

India is veritable emporium of medicinal and aromatic trees. It has been estimated those trees occurring in India are commonly useful. Adansonia Digitata AnD is useful for different purpose like in bio- medical, chemical industries etc. The study of elastic behaviour of a solid is very important in fundamental and technical research. Strength and stiffness assessment of Adansonia Digitata AnD fruit shell and dried fruit pulp was a crucial task in the rehabilitation of Adansonia Digitata And fruit structure and its mechanical property Unsatisfactory results given by traditional procedures, therefore we applied non-destructive technique NDT. Solid bodies are not absolutely rigid by the application of suitable forces. We used the composite piezoelectric oscillator technique to calculate elastic behaviour of Adansonia Digitata AnD fruit part (fruit shell and dried fruit pulp) by the frequency 123.4 KHz of quartz crystal. In the present study Ultrasonic Inspection is a very useful and versatile NDT method to calculate the Ultrasonic Longitudinal Velocity and elastic constant of Adansonia Digitata AnD fruit shell and dried fruit pulp in the longitudinal direction with ultrasonic frequency at room temperature 308 K. We have measured the resonant frequencies of the specimen’s fs. The specimen’s were collected from Mandu, Dhar Dist. (M.P.) India known as mandav ki imali. Characterization of the samples was made by scanning electron microscope (SEM) Model JEOL JSM5400.The resonant frequencies of the specimens were measured by Ultrasonic Interferometer (for solids) dual frequency Mittal Enterprises, New Delhi.
