To provide a reference for practical engineering application of fiber composite materials, this work researches on the impact resistance of type-B quartz fiber/modified cyanate ester composite material laminates and NOMEX paper honeycomb sandwich panels. Firstly, low-speed impact tests are carried out on the quartz fiber laminates and the NOMEX paper honeycomb sandwich panels by setting different parameters to analyze the impact energy and punch mass on impact damage; secondly, based on the experimental results, impact responses are analyzed; and the damage morphology of the two composite materials is observed through visual inspection and with the aid of the CT scanning technology. The results show that according to time-load curves, the NOMEX paper honeycomb sandwich panels have two peak load moments, respectively corresponding to the moments when the upper and lower panels are penetrated; the quartz fiber laminates show three different types of failures, namely substrate cracking, fiber fracture and delamination. As for the NOMEX paper honeycomb sandwich panels, two types of damage are found: fiber fracture and honeycomb core extrusion fracture. When the punch mass is constant, the greater the impact energy is, the more serious the damage is; and when the impact energy is constant, the greater the punch mass is, the more serious the damage is.
