In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB)-reinforced composites were subjected to a low-velocity impact test to study their energy absorption characteristics. Two sets of OPEFB-reinforced composite specimens were used, comprising 30:70 and 40:60 fiber/epoxy fractions. One set of specimens wa...
