Measurement of Local Modules of Elasticity of Construction Materials using Laser Ultrasonic Sources

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements of the elastic moduli of structural materials using a technique with laser sources of ultrasonic pulses. This method allows measurements to be carried out locally (lateral resolution from 1 mm, object thickness from 2 mm) and promptly (measurement time of less than 1 s) and with one-sided access to the controlled object.
