Abstract
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites show high strength, high stiffness and low weight. Thus, these composite laminates are used in many industries such as aerospace, defence and automobile. Thus, in this chapter, behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite laminates under LVI is presented. The literature presented here covers different aspects such as laminate thickness, impact velocity, impact energy, stacking sequence which affect the impact resistance properties of the carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite laminates. Further, effect of hybridization of the carbon fibre with other fibres such as glass, basalt on the impact properties is also covered. The final section of this chapter covers the effect of addition of nanomaterial on the impact performance of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite laminate.KeywordsCarbon fibre reinforced polymer compositesLow velocity impactHybridizationNanomaterial
