ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for determining, through an interposed medium, the mechanical properties of a solid. The apparatus includes ultrasonic transmission apparatus for transmitting an ultrasonic wave through the interposed medium and the solid, wherein the solid has a surface, at least first and second ultrasonic receiver units, for receiving the ultrasonic wave, and apparatus for locating the receiver units such that a first receipt time of the ultrasonic wave from the surface to the first receiver unit is generally equivalent to a second receipt time from the surface to the second receiver unit.
