The nature of ultrasonic propagation at cylindrical interfaces is being explored as a potential method for inferring the modulus of the interface in metal matrix composites. In many metal matrix composite systems leaky interface waves have been found to propagate along the interface. The velocity of these waves depends sensitively upon the local moduli and provides a potential basis for measuring these quantities. The opportunity exists to exploit the leaky character of these waves for microscopic imaging at the interface.
