The measurement of the velocity of ultrasound provides a nondestructive means to characterize the mechanical properties of paper. The objective of this program is to develop sensors capable of making such measurements in the thickness and in-plane directions of paper while the paper is moving at line speed on the paper machine. This would allow continuous monitoring of product quality as well as provide data for controlling the papermaking process.
