Numerical analysis of low-velocity impact of carbon-basalt/epoxy hybrid laminates

In this paper, an attempt has been made to numerically investigate the transient dynamic response of carbon-basalt/epoxy laminated composites subjected to low velocity impact. Carbon laminates are expensive hence, inclusion of cheaper basalt to obtain an improved, yet economical laminate is necessar...
