%X This paper aims to study dynamic progressive failure properties of glass fiber composite/aluminium hybrid laminates under low-velocity impact. Intralaminar damage models using Puck failure criteria and strain-based damage evolution laws for composite layers are implemented by developing finite element codes using ABAQUS-VUMAT (user dynamic material subroutine), the interface delamination is simulated by bilinear cohesive model in ABAQUS and the mechanical properties of aluminium layers are described using the Johnson-Cook model. Effects of different layer thickness and impact energy on the impact force¨Ctime/displacement curves of glass fiber composite/aluminium laminates under low-velocity impact are discussed. Besides, damage evolution behaviors of matrix and delamination interface are explored. Finally, energy dissipation mechanisms due to intralaminar dynamic progressive failure, interlaminar delamination of composite layers and plastic deformation of aluminium layers are studied. Relatively good agreement is obtained between experimental and numerical results
