Abstract

An ultrasonic transducer system (20) includes a transducer coupler body (22) made of a material that transmits ultrasonic waves therethrough and an ultrasonic transducer (24) joined to a first portion of the transducer coupler body (22). A footprint face plate (30) is joined to a second portion of the transducer coupler body (22). The first portion and the second portion are selected such that an ultrasonic wave can propagate therebetween through the transducer coupler body (22). The footprint face plate (30) extends beyond the transducer coupler body (22) and has a footprint contact face (40) on one end thereof, with the width of the contact face (40) being much smaller than its length.
