The response of glass–epoxy composites to repeated impact for various impact energies ranging from 5 to 15 J was investigated. Specimens with two different stacking sequences were studied; [0/90/0/90] S and [0/90/+45/−45] S . In addition to the room temperature, impact tests were also performed at −40°C environmental test temperature for impact energy of 15 J. Contact force‐deflection and energy‐time curves at each test and the number of impacts to failure ( N f ) were obtained for each experiment. Compression after impact (CAI) tests were also conducted to determine the residual load carrying capacity of the damaged specimens. POLYM. COMPOS., 2009. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers
