β¦ Synopsis
An assessment of the applicability of an acousto-ultrasonic (AU) technique for the monitoring of porous ceramic systems has been carried out. Sintered glass was used as a model system and it was found that the AU parameters, such as normalized ringdown count, normalized pulse width, velocity and frequency interval (Af) between adjacent peaks in the frequency spectra, decrease with increasing porosity. The porosity dependence of the normalized AU parameters has been attributed to attenuation which analysis showed depended on the pore size and content. The velocity and frequency interval changes also depended on pore content but, unlike the normalized parameters, were found to be sensitive to pore shape and size. The decreasing Afwith increasing porosity was explained in terms of the longer path lengths traversed by the waves in the higher pore-density samples.

The porosity dependence of ultrasonic velocity in porous sintered materials has been modelled using the self-consistent spheroidal inclusion theory. Considering the pores to be oblate spheroids, an effective aspect ratio has been determined from experimental data, which serves as an additional param
