The effects of electron beam irradiation were examined on perforation holes and fragments from quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic plates (CFRP plates). CFRP plates with a total dose up to 60 MGy of electron beam irradiation were prepared for hypervelocity impact experiments. The perforation holes of CFRP plates in the hypervelocity impact experiments were decreased with electron beam irradiation when aluminum alloy spherical projectiles (2017-T4) of diameter of 1 mm struck at an impact velocity of 5 km/s. However, a slight reduction in the size of the perforation hole was observed at 2 km/s. Fragments ejected from CFRP plates were examined after collection from the impact side and rear side of the targets. The cumulative number distributions of fragment length and aspect ratio were compared among specimens with different total doses.
