In this work, the evaluation of damaged areas due to low velocity impact tests at different impact energy values on Carbon Fibre (CF) laminates with 3D fabric, made by infusion technology and reinforced with epoxy resin, were investigated by NDI (Non-destructive Investigation) technique based on speckle interferometry. Composites are characterized by several interacting failure modes such as matrix breakage, fibre failure and delaminations, which can be simultaneously induced by low velocity impacts. It can be very difficult to detect by visual inspections of the structures such phenomena. The aim of this study is to evaluate the damaged area due to an impact event. CF composite laminates were impact damaged with four energy levels (5, 10, 20, 30J) at room temperature, by drop weight impact machine. The results showed that ESPI technique was able to identify barely visible low-velocity impact damages.
