This study aims to evaluate the impact damage of FML panels under the effects of elevated temperatures. Low-velocity impact tests were conducted experimentally on FML panels at impact energy levels of 5, 8, 10, 12, 13.5 and 15 J at room temperature. Finite element models of the FML with quarter and...
