Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Problems that arise in ultraacoustic contactless testing of articles across a nonresonant air gap are considered. Results of the development of high-efficiency, wideband, low-frequency, ultraacoustic piezoelectric transducers for contactless testing of articles made of composite materials are presented.
