Summary, etc. Since the advancement of science and technology, the field of composites has moved from basic<br/>composite material such as wood to strongest composite materials such as graphene.<br/>Unfortunately, the cost of the most advanced composite materials is very high mainly due to their<br/>production processes. Considering the cost factor, we need to work on reducing the cost of<br/>composite materials without altering their other properties mainly their strength. Composite<br/>materials are known for their excellent stiffness to weight ratio and strength to weight ratio. The<br/>most known composite materials are fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber and basalt fiber. Carbon fiber<br/>is the most widely used composite material since it has a high strength.<br/>The drop test impact is a very short duration phenomenon with impact time being less than<br/>20milliseconds. The material for the target point and its geometry plays a very important role in<br/>the phenomenon followed by certain boundary conditions. The impactor possesses gravitational<br/>potential energy and on striking that energy is absorbed by the targeted patch. The impactor with<br/>Gravitational Potential Energy less than the energy absorbing capability of the composite material<br/>only damages the composite patch in terms of cracks, some indentation or delamination of the<br/>composite patch layers. But if the Gravitational Potential Energy is greater than the energy<br/>absorbing capability of the composite material, the impactor will penetrate through the composite<br/>material leaving a hole. Hence the amount or intensity of the damage in composite patch is directly<br/>related to the energy absorbing ability of the composite patch.<br/>In current study, the behavior of three different combinations composed of basalt fiber and flax<br/>fiber were studied. The 3 combinations include BF4B11, BFB5FB5FB, B5F3B5 (Asymmetric,<br/>symmetric and sandwich) respectively. The test specimen was composed of Aluminum 2024 of<br/>thickness 3mm bonded with one of the circular shaped composite patch of thickness 3mm. Single<br/>impact strikes were carried out on the targeted composite patch at certain energies with aluminium<br/>plate acting as back plate. The numerical results along with graphs were taken from the software<br/>followed by the results gathered through studying damage caused due to indentation and by<br/>investigating the propagation of cracks formed. All of these results of the 3 combinations were<br/>thoroughly checked and a comparison between the 3 combinations was carried out involving the<br/>amount of indentation, force displacement, bending stiffness, damage area and cracks propagation.<br/>It was found that among the 3 configuration layups Asymmetric performed better than symmetric<br/>and sandwich layups.
