ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device and method of non-destructively monitoring reactive material through a substrate for changes in material properties that designate the condition of the reactive material during cure and service life. A transducer is placed on a portion of the substrate generally parallel to an interface of the substrate to the reactive material. The ultrasonic waves generated via the transducer are used to detect reflected sound waves upon encountering the interfaces, where the interfaces consist of changes in material properties across the substrate.
