A non-destructive method uses ultrasound measurements to determine some mechanical properties of an elastomeric material. The measurements can be made during manufacture of the elastomer for quality control purposes. The measurements can also be made on the elastomeric material in situ as part of a device to assess degradation of the elastomer over time.
