Abstract
It is observed that damage resistance decreases as impact energy increases. In addition, thicker laminates show lower absorbed energy but, conversely, a more extensive delamination due to higher bending stiffness. Thinner laminates show higher failure depth. Furthermore, quasi-isotropic laminates show better performance in terms of damage resistance. Finally, the results obtained demonstrate that introducing ply clustering had a negative effect on the damage resistance and on the delamination area.
