heal.abstract	The mechanical and acoustical properties of a class of plasticized epoxies were investigated over a wide range of amount of plasticizer by means of destructive and nondestructive (NDT) experimental techniques. The velocities C-l and C-t of the longitudinal and transverse waves were evaluated from the acoustical properties. From those and the density rho of the material, the modulus of elasticity E, the shear modulus G and the Poisson ratio nu were evaluated by means of appropriate relationships. Tensile experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the tensile stress at fracture sigma(F) the elastic modulus E, the Poisson ratio nu and compare these constants with the corresponding values obtained from ultrasonic tests. The effect of plasticizer percentage on the said properties was investigated.	en
