Ultrasonic measurements in polymeric materials using air-coupled capacitance transducers

Abstract
Wide bandwidth capacitance devices have been designed which have a high transduction efficiency in air at frequencies into the MHz range. They are sufficiently sensitive to allow transmission through solid samples, including polymers and fiber-reinforced composites. Examples are presented of experiments showing how such transducers may be used to measure material properties and to perform ultrasonic imaging.
