AB - The low, medium and high-velocity impact resistance of fibre reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting composites have continually attracted interest in automotive, aerospace and military applications. This research aims to characterise the high-velocity impact (HVI) response of a carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composite system which is comprised of non-crimp fabric (NCF) biaxial 0/90 T700 carbon pre-impregnated with polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) thermoplastic (TP) veils. The raw materials were provided by THERMOCOMP [1] and the composite panels were manufactured using a 40-tonne hydraulic laboratory press via thermoforming process. The HVI tests were performed with velocities ranging from 130 to 250m/s. The projectile used is a 16mm diameter spherical stainless steel with a mass of 16.5 ± 0.5g. The entry and exit velocities were measured to determine the V50 and the energy absorbed in cases where perforation occurs. The experimental procedure was then numerically simulated using a finite element (FE) solver LS-DYNA®. The numerical model is then validated and compared against the experimental gatherings with respect to the exit velocities and damage mechanism.
