The Effect of Stacking Sequence on High-velocity Impact Resistance of Hybrid Woven Reinforced Composites: Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation

In this paper, the effects of the stacking sequence of layup processing and creating space between layers of hybrid composites on the impact behavior were studied. The hybrid woven composites were manufactured using three different woven layers of kevlar, carbon, and glass fibers. Results show that the impact resistance of hybrid composites was better when the kevlar layer was located on the impact surface than when glass or carbon layers were...
