Low velocity impact can bring about subsurface defects and delaminations in composites, painted plastic and painted metal substrates. In this work the authors have demonstrated that thermal wave imaging can not only detect low velocity impact damage, but is also able to discern the influence of variations in the angle of impact. Furthermore, thermal wave imaging can provide geometric details of the damaged area. Thermal wave imaging can be used as a sensitive and rapid qualitative and quantitative nondestructive evaluation tool for post-impact damage analysis.
