This　paper　aims　to　predict　the　damage　and　fracture　behavior　of　thermoplastic　fiber-reinforced　metal　laminates　(TFMLs)　under　ballistic　impact　loadings.　A　dynamic　metal　constitutive　model　has　been　employed　and　implemented　in　Abaqus/Explicit　through　a　vectorized　user　material　subroutine　(VUMAT).　The　effects　of　the　Lode　angle,　temperature,　and　strain　rate　are　considered　in　the　strength　model,　while　the　effects　of　stress　triaxiality,　Lode　angle,　temperature,　and　strain　rate　are　taken　into　account　in　the　failure　criteria.　To　assess　the　validity　and　superiority　of　the　proposed　model,　the　numerically　predicted　responses　of　polypropylene　fiber-reinforced　metal　laminates　subjected　to　varying　impact　energies　were　systematically　compared　with　corresponding　experimental　results.　Additionally,　a　comparative　analysis　was　performed　between　the　numerical　simulation　results　predicted　by　the　present　model　and　those　obtained　using　other　constitutive　models,　such　as　the　Johnson-Cook　(JC)　constitutive　model　and　the　elastoplastic　constitutive　model.　Furthermore,　the　effect　of　projectile　types　on　the　ballistic　performance　of　TFMLs　have　been　systematically　investigated.　The　findings　demonstrate　that　the　failure　pattern　predicted　by　the　current　model　closely　aligns　with　the　experimental　observations,　while　both　the　Johnson-Cook　(JC)　constitutive　model　and　the　elastoplastic　constitutive　model　were　unable　to　accurately　replicate　the　experimentally　observed　failure　behavior.　This　study　also　reveals　that　the　projectile＇s　nose　shape　plays　a　significant　role　in　influencing　the　perforation　behavior　of　TFMLs,　affecting　both　the　residual　velocity　and　damage.
