Arcing effects, such as that due to lightning, on glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminate used in aerospace applications, have been studied. Lightning voltage impulses (1.2/50 micro seconds) were applied at breakdown voltage on the specimens and the arc points were inspected nondestructively...
