In this paper, a new type of foldcore sandwich panel (tentatively called X‐type foldcore sandwich panel) is proposed by combining the X‐type corrugated sandwich panel and the Miura‐ori sandwich panel. The experimental specimens are prepared by using a glass fiber‐reinforced polymer. To systematically reveal the low‐velocity response mechanism and impact resistance of sandwich panels, a hemispherical impactor is used to impact panels. The effects of impact energy, impact position, diameter of tup, and impact mass on low‐velocity impact performance of X‐type foldcore sandwich panels are considered. The damage morphology, response process, and failure mechanism are analyzed under different working conditions. The results show that under the impact of 75 and 125 J, the impact resistance of the node is better than that of the base. Under 200 J impact, the impact resistance of the base is better than that of the node. Compared with the traditional foldcore sandwich panel, the new configuration reduces the impact resistance difference between two positions (node and base). Highlights: A new foldcore sandwich panel is proposed.The impact effect of energy, mass, position, and tup diameter is investigated.Damage morphology, response process, and impact resistance are analyzed.The new structure reduces differences in impact resistance.
