A system and method can include a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) in optical communication with a part during manufacturing and a transducer in ultrasonic communication with the part during manufacturing. The system can also include a controller connected to both the LDV and the transducer. The controller may be configured to cause the transducer to vibrate the part during manufacturing at a predetermined frequency and the LDV may be configured to measure one or more mechanical response types of the part during manufacturing based on one or more optical characteristics of a reflected beam. The controller may further be configured to determine whether a defect is present in the part during manufacturing in response to the one or more mechanical response types of the part.
