The paper discusses the possibilities of computed tomography in the study of the internal structure of samples of composite materials with different types of reinforcing the material. A technique has been developed for recording impact damage parameters on a stand with a vertically falling weight. Using CT data the character of the distribution of internal damages was carried out after a low-speed strike was studied. The unique technique allows reconstructing 3D geometry of the object and analyze object defects in spatial.
