It was described and validated the ultrasonic system with a line-focused PVDF transducer for the measurement of the elastic constants of small-size samples. The objective of this system was to measure the elastic constants of limited-size samples with high accuracy on the base of acoustic microscope technology. The elastic constants of aluminum, copper, steel, and titaniumalloy were determined by measuring the velocity of the longitudinal and leak surface waves simultaneously. Results were similar to these obtained by the general test method and the theoretic simulations. This showed that the ultrasonic test method is feasible and the results were reliable. The error analysis showed that the measuring system had a higher accuracy and the errors of Poisson' s ratio and Young' s modulus was within 3%. This can meet the need of the engineering and scientific research. Moreover, the method can be used to determine elastic constants of both isotropic and anisotropic materials.
