Abstract
An ultrasonic method for evaluation of interface properties is outlined. The method is based on utilization of ultrasonic interface waves for bonded semispaces and of Lamb waves for bonded layers. The interface wave induces only shear stresses on the interface, which makes it possible to estimate the effective complex shear modulus of the interface. The technique is applied for evaluation of viscoelastic properties of thin polymer adhesive films between solids.
