Abstract
Sonar dome rubber windows are constructed much like steel‐belted automobile tires, in that they are composed predominantly of rubber reinforced with wire cords. The use of convention ultrasonic flaw detection techniques to locate voids and disbonds in such a media is complicated both by the high attenuation in the rubber media and the layered construction technique used in its fabrication. This paper describes laboratory research efforts leading to the development of a simple reliable portable ultrasonic flaw detection system designed specifically for use in this complicated media. The potential benefits of using high‐speed digital signal processing equipment in this application is also demonstrated and discussed.
