For example, if you had a metal embedded in concrete, could you induce vibration in the metal at its resonant frequency, and have it loosen from its surroundings, without totally destroying the concrete, of course!
If you can provide links to back up your answer, that would be great.

To expand on my question: is it possible to destroy the metal-concrete interface without totally destroying all of the concrete?

Thanks. Because we can't answer the same question twice, I will re-post as a reworded question.

by making use of vibration of same frequency(the frequecy should be high than the bonding strength of the metal with concrete in order to seperate these two substances) the two matter can be seperated but damage will occur to the concrete as the hardened concrete is inelastic in nature and can break...............

No, you would have to destroy at least a part of the concrete to loosen the metal from the concrete. And if the metal is rebar, the amount of concrete you'd have to remove is the raised rib on the rebar. Why are you wanting to remove the metal from the concrete? If you direct your question this way, maybe someone could come up with a suggestion.

the vibration that you give to the metal will be applying more effect on the concrete than on the metal..
this will destroy the bonding capacity of the concrete and between the metal and concrete

ok, get some water based gel and rub all of it over the bars. then circulate get some copper and rub that throughout gel and Sarene rap the bars and the copper jointly. Then connect the two multiple metals with 2 lined wires then connect those wires to a vehicle battery... useful to the bars, unfavourable to the copper and enable it take a seat for variety of two weeks. The bars will corrode out leaving the copper. replace the gel daily or rig up some thing the place the two the metals could be submersed in water (salt water's the final) It sounds complicated in spite of the shown fact that it is going to artwork
