A finite element numerical model for carbon/epoxy woven laminates has been used to predict residual velocity and damaged area when subjected to high impact velocities. Experiments using a gas gun were conducted to investigate the impact process and to validate the model, measuring the two variables previously indicated. A morphology analysis was also made to investigate the different breakage mechanisms that appear during the penetration process. The influence of the impact velocity and obliquity has been studied using the numerical tool, in a wide range of impact velocities and considering two impact angles, 0 and 45 .
