This study uses numerical modeling to explore the intricate relationship between low-velocity
impact and composite materials. The study investigates the impact response of composite
materials under low-speed loading circumstances in great detail. Two specimens were
prepared for the current study the first one has a uniform thickness for each layer,
and the second is prepared with altering layer thicknesses. A tensile test was employed
to obtain the mechanical properties to use it in the numerical analysis. An impact
test was employed in this analysis, where the impactor was modeled also on a height
of 300 mm, the analysis time was taken as 0.08 s to capture all the impact. The numerical
analysis was verified with other studies, and the error percentage did not exceed
2%. The results showed that the second specimen with alternating thickness had the
best behavior.
