The present volume on progress in quantitative nondestructive evaluation discusses the application of guided acoustic waves to delamination deduction, an ultrasonic evaluation of environmentally degraded adhesive joints, an assessment of aircraft structural integrity by the detection of disbonds through ultrasonic scanning, and an ultrasonic scanning technique for the quantitative determination of the cohesive properties of adhesive joints. Attention is given to the detection of a weak adhesive/adherend interface in bonded joints by ultrasonic reflection measurements, an LF ultrasonic-spectroscopy technique for NDE of adhesive joints, a quantitative nondestructive evaluation of adhesive lap joints in a sheet molding compound by adaptation of a commercial bond tester, and an ultrasonic testing technique or measurement of the Poisson's ratio of thin adhesive layers. Topics addressed include physically based feature mapping concepts in bond interface evaluation and the examination of adhesive bonds using optically generated periodic surface acoustic waves.
