For this study, perforation did not occur because the energy was set to about 5

% below the maximum energy obtained from quasi-static indentation test. During the
test, it is observed that the impactor bounced back with little modes of damage. As

shown in Figure 4.22, the force displacement curves of hybrid composites of G2/B3/G2,
G2/J3/G2 and G2/F3/G2 were closely returning to their original position, means that the

impactor was bounced back, and perforation was not occurred.
