TYPEOBJECTIVEMETHOD INSTRUMENTATION  Determine process parameters and material properties (mechanical, physical, chemical)  Measure the acoustic properties (sound velocity, coefficient of attenuation, zero moment power) of ultrasonic waves propagated through the materials NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT)  Detect, locate and characterize flaws (cracks, voids, inclusions) in materials and structures  Observe the wave phenomena (transmission, reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering) occurred caused by the interaction between the flaws and the ultrasonic wave NON DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE)  Determine the quality of materials (gases, liquids, solids)  Measuring the acoustic properties of ultrasonic waves propagated through the materials. MACROSONICS  Process material by using high power ultrasonic waves  Use the mechanical, physical, chemical and biological effects on materials ULTRASONIC APPLICATIONS
