Steel cord-rubber composite lamina subjected to low velocity impact was investigated by a drop-weight method with a flat-ended impactor. This paper presents impact responses at different impact energy levels until failure. Energy based approach was used to analyze impact responses. Also impact-induced damages were observed by an optical camera. It revealed various modes of damages on the steel cord-rubber composite with increasing impact energy level.
