Calculating the speed of sound in orthotropic material

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am trying to simulate the ultrasound from a phased array into a material. The material is orthotropic/anisotropic. We know that speed of sound varies according to direction of propagation in anisotropic materials. But when I check here the speed of sound is constant. How do I vary the speed of sound wrt to the direction. I am using the solid mechanics physics for the whole simulation. This question might be a little stupid but any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks !
