This study presents ultrasonic investigations of glass samples conducted at the University of Houston. Utilizing a pulser-receiver setup with 1MHz transducers, both compression and shear wave velocities were measured via pulse transmission and echo techniques. The research includes a detailed comparison of shear waveforms in three orthogonal directions for a blank glass sample and a glass sample (GS1) with laser bubble inclusions. Key findings discuss variations in wave velocity depending on the sample orientation and presence of inclusions. Visual data, including sample diagrams and waveforms, support the analysis.
