Summary: | A system and method for determining a width of a gap in a structure is provided. The system uses an underwater spark discharge to generate a compression wave in a first vessel containing a liquid. The system further includes a second vessel in which a vacuum is pulled to hold the first vessel against the structure. The compression wave is directed to propagate from the liquid into the structure and is detected after it propagates through the structure including the gap. |
