“…This is due to their significant weight-saving capability and extraordinary properties, including the high specific stiffness and specific strength, excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. However, despite having extraordinary properties, these composites are susceptible to the low velocity impact of foreign objects in service life (e.g., tool drop impact, and the impact of debris from the runway) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The impact will cause delamination, matrix cracking, and fiber breakage, which results in significant degradations in mechanical properties [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”
