Composite armored vehicles are subjected to compression and high strain rate loading during their course of operation. In this work, nondestructive evaluation (NDE) studies are performed in resin transfer molded triaxial E-glass/EPON shell epoxy and quadriaxial E-glass/vinyl ester epoxy composites. The E-glass/EPON composites were processed using two schemes, namely, "center injection" and "3-sided injection". The samples from each processing scheme were subjected to baseline ultrasonic characterization and compression loading accompanied ...
