Abstract
Several techniques based on ultrasound have been proposed for non-destructive evaluation (NDE). It has been widely applied in many fields such as medicine, mechanical, and construction, especially for the detection of cracks and flaws in structures and for the identification of material properties, which is capable of performing tasks to provide quick measurements while guaranteeing great accuracy. In this paper, we have developed the technique of ultrasonic transmission by water immersion as an alternative technique to study the propagation of ultrasonic waves in two structural materials: wood and wood protected by liquid paint (cement). Overall, the application of the transmission technique by change of the angle of incidence enables the demonstration of the experimental dispersion curves for the ultrasonic modes within the plates and allows the investigation and characterization of the function of the paint system (cement) in the wood plate.
