Abstract

The ultrasonic dry-couplant technique has been used to evaluate adhesive bonds in honeycomb and aluminium-fibre reinforced plastic-aluminium sandwich materials. The technique does not require conventional liquid couplant. Both pitch-catch and through transmission methods were adopted. Disbonds have been successfully detected and evaluated using the technique.
