| Abstract | The report presents ultrasonic A-scan reflection oscillograms and B-scan one-dimensional scanning displays for small sections of automobile tires, and for tire-like rubber and cord composite structures, using impulse excitation of 1-MHz and 5-MHz transducers. Adequate penetration and resolution are exhibited to permit depth characterization of structures and defects. Small reflections at bonding interfaces exhibit variations indicating a potential capability for detection of interface bonding anomalies in tires. |
