Abstract Characterization of barely visible impact damage (BVID) in polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is necessary to use slow crack growth damage tolerance models and evaluate remaining life of PMC components. Azimuthally scanned angled-beam pulse-echo ultrasound is investigated as a complimentary technique to normal incidence ultrasound inspection of BVID in PMCs to characterize delamination fields. It is found that there is a correlation between signals present in the azimuthally scanned angled-beam pulse-echo ultrasound C-scans and transverse cracks seen in X-ray computed tomography inspection. These transverse cracks are not readily identifiable as transverse cracks in normal incidence C-scan inspection.
