Tables of Acoustic Properties of Materials

A widely used table from Specialty Engineering is now part of Onda Corporation. We offer our list of material properties, complete with all of the updates. If you have any material properties that you would like to contribute, please contact info@ondacorp.com. Materials are listed in order of hardness. If there is an abbreviation in one of the tables you do not understand, be sure to check in the abbreviations listing.

Supplemental Tables

Laust Pedersen has kindly offered to include his list of material properties here as well, and rather than take it apart and edit everything into these lists, we offer it as a stand alone spreadsheet (MS Excel file in zip-format, for download only). We may, in the future, strive to incorporate these numbers into our own lists, but would like you to have the benefit of Laust's work in the mean time.
