SHEETMETAL & NON- SHEETMETALALIC STRUCTURE
(1) When performing a ring (coin tap) test on composite structure, a change in sound may be due to damage or to transition to a different internal structure
(2) The extent of separation damage in composite structures is most accurately measured by a ring (coin tap) test
