The study confirmed a strong relationship between thickness and ballistic impact behavior, which has never been addressed in any previous studies of composite stacking methods.Analyses further suggested KFRP as the back face (THIN) and CFRP as the back face (THICK) demonstrate better impact resistance.This study provides theoretical support for the design and development of aero-engine cases.
