The impact resistance and damage tolerance of FRC are affected by various factors such as fabric architecture, resin toughness, impactor geometry, extreme conditions, stacking sequence, and fiber/matrix hybridization. It has been identified that among these factors fabric architecture and resin toughness are the most important factors in improving the impact resistance and damage tolerance of composites. The objective of this paper is to review the effect of different factors on LVI performance of FRC, identify the gap in the literature and suggest directions for future work in this area. In addition to this, different damage modeling strategies used to predict the impact resistance and damage tolerance of FRC will be discussed in detail. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85062886711&doi=10.1016%2fj.compstruct.2019.03.021&partnerID=40&md5=e804b1ef8b7f6d8895279ec1593d1d01 id_number: 10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.03.021 full_text_status: none publication: Composite Structures volume: 217 pagerange: 100-121 refereed: TRUE issn: 02638223 citation: Shah, S.Z.H. and Karuppanan, S. and Megat-Yusoff, P.S.M. and Sajid, Z.
