“…Some examples of materials studied by air-coupled ultrasound include plant leaves [15], wood products [16], Plexiglass [17], drug tablets [18], stacked cylindrical spaghetti rods [19], textile materials [20,21], composite laminates [22], fibre reinforced plastics [23], polymers [23,24,25], paper [26,27], food products [28,29], and aluminium [30,31]. Most of the materials listed here can be described as soft, having much lower characteristic acoustic impedance than steel.…”
