The paper presents an experimental assessment of defects in a layered plate made of a polyesteric resin (plastic material). Two non-destructive methods were used: X-ray com- puted tomography and ultrasonic imaging. The main purpose of this work was to establish the position, shape and size of the defects that appeared during the manufacturing process. A three – dimensional model was obtained from the X-ray tomography using specific software for data processing. The model was used in order to evaluate the effect of defects on the integrity of the analyzed structure, by comparing the numerical results with the ones for a similar plate without defects. Some considerations on the efficiency of the two used experimental methods are also presented.
