Abstract

See full text

An interface inspection method according to the present invention includes a step S1 of transmitting ultrasound to a composite structure to be inspected, via an ultrasound generating unit adapted to generate ultrasound of a frequency suitable for a member making up the composite structure and acquiring a signal waveform by receiving a reflected wave from the composite structure using a receiving unit; a step S2 of performing signal processing on the acquired signal waveform and acquiring signal amplitude versus frequency characteristics; and a step S3 of determining an interface condition of the composite structure based on an amplitude in a frequency band unique to the composite structure as observed on the signal waveform subjected to signal processing.
