Abstract
In Part I of this paper (this publication), dropped weight impact test ing was used to evaluate the influence of temperature and moisture on the impact resistance of various graphite/epoxy composites. In the pre sent paper, subpenetration impact testing and subsequent damage charac terization using ultrasonic c-scan and microscopic techniques are used to provide additional insight into the nature of the impact damage an d to identify critical parameters affecting impact performance.
