Abstract

The damage stages of the ballistic impact effect on both thin and thick laminated composites were investigated. Thin and thick laminated composite plates were produced with unsymmetrical cross-ply [0/90], [–45/+45], and [30/60] layups consisting of 16 and 50 unidirectional layers, respectively. Ballistic tests of the composite plates were carried out by means of a single-stage gas gun system at different velocities in the range from 447 to 861 m/s. The thin composite plates were more damaged than the thick plates at ballistic tests with the same velocity. Relatively small strains were observed at low-velocity impact while the projectile rebounded in all thick specimens. All thick plate specimens, except the plates with [–45/+45] layup, were perforated at high velocity impacts. Tests showed an increase in the shear stress between layers with increasing projectile velocity.
