An analysis for the transient deflections, bending strains, and interlaminar shear stresses in a simply supported laminated composite plate subject to low velocity impact has been obtained using a series solution of the plate governing equations. Results are presented showing the effect of plate geometry and impact location on damage mode. Computed stresses and strain are compared with impact test data to verify, the analysis.
