A variety of helicoidal laminates with uniform and non-linear pitch angles mixed with additional 0\u00b0 plies are fabricated to investigate the impact resistance through low-velocity impact and after-impact compression tests. Additionally, helicoidal laminates with constant pitch angles, quasi-isotropic laminate, and cross-ply laminates are also fabricated for a comparative study. The impact characteristics and the compressive strength are analyzed in view of the impact model, shear stress distribution, and fracture toughness. The results suggest that 10\u00b0 or 20\u00b0 are the better basic pitch angles before mixing 0\u00b0 orientation plies. The 0\u00b0 orientation plies may affect the contact stiffness, bending stiffness, damage extent, and compressive modulus. The compressive strength reaches the highest in tests on two samples with different percentages of 0\u00b0 orientation plies and ply setups. Bending stiffness also dominates the impact response. The analysis on the laminate parameters provides ideas to improve the residual strength of helicoidal laminate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16134599","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]],"date-time":"2023-06-26T05:28:02Z","timestamp":1687757282000},"page":"4599","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Increasing the Compressive Strength of Helicoidal Laminates after Low-Velocity Impact upon Mixing with 0\u00b0 Orientation Plies and Its Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zhefeng","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiwu","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaojing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Structure Research Center, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1115\/1.3119500","article-title":"Impact on Laminated Composite Materials","volume":"44","author":"Abrate","year":"1991","journal-title":"Appl.
