Engineers use composite laminates in a variety of applications. Under low velocity impact testing, this study examined the effect of energy absorption and damage behaviour of treated and untreated glass fibre/ stainless steel wire mesh reinforced hybrid epoxy composites. Hand layup was used to create non-hybrid and hybrid composite laminates of different orientations. Glass fibre is a type of composite material. Electro dissolution and sand blasting were used to treat the stainless-steel wire mesh. For different combinations of laminates, drop weight effect tests were performed at low velocities of 3, 4, and 5 m/s. As compared to laminates made with alkaline treated glass fibre, acid treated glass fibre laminates had lower absorbed energy and damage area.
