This work investigates the dynamic impact response of Kevlar/oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) hybrid composite structures with/without gamma radiation under low velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) test. The layering pattern Kevlar/oil palm EFB/Kevlar (K/OP/K) was applied in this work. Irradiation with gamma ray with various doses were applied from 25–150 kGy. LVI results shows that hybrid Kevlar/oil palm EFBs (Kevlar/OPEFB) that were not irradiated have greater impact resistance as compared to irradiated hybrid Kevlar/OPEFB. It was also observed that the hybridization of Kevlar/OPEFB with gamma irradiation helped to improve the compressive residual strength of the composites. It was found that Kevlar/OPEFB hybrid composites with the layering sequence K/OP/K can withstand up to 35 J of impact energy, with the optimum gamma radiation dose at 50 kGy.

Composite materials that have low weight and high strength properties are currently one of the promising materials for a vehicle’s body. However, the effect of low velocity impact on composite may cause failure through matrix cracking, fibre breakage and delamination which may reduce the structure strength. Low velocity impact can be analysed either by experimentation or numerical simulation. Numerical simulation which is also known as finite element analysis can show the degradation of the composite structure properties after an impact loading condition without doing any experimentation. Thus, in this paper, LS-DYNA is the finite element analysis software that is used to simulate a low velocity impact on composite structures.
