ABSTRACT. THIS PAPER PRESENTS A NOVEL CELL TO MEASURE THE DYNAMIC VISCOSITY OF LIQUIDS USING ULTRASOUND AND WAVE MODE CONVERSION. THE CELL USES THE COMPLEX REFLECTION COEFFICIENT OF SHEAR WAVES AT A SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE. THE TRANSMITTED AND REFLECTED WAVES ARE MEASURED BY A LARGE APERTURE PVDF MEMBRANE. THE MAGNITUDE AND PHASE OF THE COEFFICIENT ARE OBTAINED BY NORMALIZING THE SIGNAL FROM THE SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE WITH RESPECT TO THE ONE FROM THE SOLID-AIR INTERFACE IN FREQUENCY DOMAIN. THE RELATIVE REFLECTION METHOD IS USED FOR SHEAR WAVES. MEASUREMENTS OF THE VISCOSITY OF AUTOMOTIVE OILS WERE MADE IN THE RANGE FROM 1 TO 10 MHZ. THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS WERE COMPARED WITH THOSE FROM A ROTATIONAL VISCOMETER.
KEYWORDS: ULTRASOUND, DYNAMIC VISCOSITY, WAVE MODE CONVERSION.
