The effects of fiber hybridization on damage behavior of hybrid glass/carbon composites under high‐velocity impact were investigated. The Hashin damage model is adopted to model the damage initiation of composites, and the bilinear form of damage evolution law based on the effective displacement is employed. The numerical results show a reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The residual velocity of impact projectile is approximately shown a linearly decreasing trend with the increasing of the thickness of glass fabric ply. As the proportion of glass fabric ply in the hybrid laminates increases, the impact resistance of laminates increased gradually. POLYM.
