Ultrasonics is the only internationally established journal which covers the
entire field of ultrasound research and technology and all its many
applications. Ultrasonics contains a variety of sections to keep readers
fully informed and up-to-date on the whole spectrum of research and
development throughout the world. Papers are of exceptional quality and of
relevance to both academia and industry.

As well as top quality original research papers and review articles by world
renowned experts, Ultrasonics also regularly features research notes, short
communications, a calendar of forthcoming events and conference reports.

The journal covers:

- Physics of ultrasound - Acousto-optics; Ultrasonic visualization;
Ultrasonic imaging; Acousto-electric devices, SAW; Acoustic microscopy;
Acoustic emission; Ultrasonic wave propagation; Application of lasers to
ultrasonics; Sonochemistry; Physical acoustics (solids; liquids and gases);
Material interactions, characterization and scatttering; Modelling of wave
propagation and scattering.

- Non-linear ultrasound - Finite-amplitude ultrasonic waves; Parameters of
non-linearity; Parametric arrays; Ultrasound cavitation and bubble dynamics;
Ultrasonically produced streaming and radiation pressure.

- Medical, biological and chemical ultrasound - Ultrasonic characterization
of biological media; Scattering and absorption in biological materials;
Instrumentation; Diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical ultrasound:
Sonochemistry.

- Underwater acoustics - Reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference,
scattering and reverbration, radiation from objects vibrating under water;
Underwater communication: sonars and hydrophones.

- High power sonics - Industrial processes utilizing high power sonics such
as welding, wire drawing, filtering, drilling, cutting, cleaning,
emulsification, atomization; Microstructure effects; Heat generation;
Non-linear elastic waves in solids.

- Ultrasonic NDT Research - Defect location and characterization in metals,
ceramics, and composites; Materials characterization; Fatigue damage: A-,
B-, C- and P-scans; Continuous wave resonance; Guided wave modes:
Instrumentation.
