Abstract
Applications of the Acousto-Ultrasonic Stress Wave Factor Technique (SWF) to the nondestructive evaluation/characterization of wire rope, wood fiber hardboard, and adhesion between rubber-like materials and steel substrates are presented. It was observed that for each application the SWF technique has the potential of being used as a nondestructive testing tool. The SWF technique proved successful to monitor progressive damage in wire rope and wood fiber hardboard, and to monitor the strength of the bond between rubber layers and steel plates.
