Keywords: functionally graded material, low-velocity impact, residual strength, damage

Ballistic impact tests were performed to investigate the impact response of functionally graded plate of GRFP/CRFP with different proportion. Then the residual strength tests were performed and a C-scan ultrasonic device was used to detect the internal damage. The impact performance of functionally plate was superior.
