A US Army-supported project, Effects of Defects, was established to help identify appropriate NDE modalities for inspecting layered ceramic-composite armour. As a part of this effort, a series of 84 40 cm (16-inch) square by 50 mm (2-inch) thick, multi-layered ceramic-composite armour specimens was...
