Abstract
Impact damage typically propagates in the fibre direction of the tubes. Impact using larger impactors increases the dimensions of damage area, hence reducing the penetration. In comparison with E-glass tubes with similar amount of reinforcement, damage area of basalt tubes is significantly smaller at all impact energies.
