Plate composite structures are used in many sectors today. Therefore, the demand for these structures is increasing. Especially in the field of aerospace, layered composite structures attract more attention. These wide range of applications affect composite materials in various aspects such as dynamic and mechanical in terms of working environments. Time-dependent variable stresses, vibrations and fatigue that occur in structures subjected to dynamic loads adversely affect both the internal and external structure of composite materials. This situation reduces the safe service life of composite materials. It is an important problem to eliminate or minimize the parameters that negatively affect the economic service life of fiber reinforced layered composite structures. In order to overcome these problems, it is aimed to create new composite structures by adding two different thermoplastic veil layers between fiber fabrics, which are widely used on an industrial basis. In this study, carbon fiber was used as the fiber fabric and Polyamide (PA) and Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) veils were used as the thermoplastic veil layers. The productions were made by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) method and dynamic (natural frequency and damping ratio) tests were performed according to the relevant ASTM standards. With the experimental results obtained, the dynamic properties of thermoplastic veil-layered carbon fiber/epoxy composites were comparatively investigated to determine the effect of both veil layers and different fiber contents.
