Abstract
In this paper the dynamic response of a six-ply fibre reinforced laminated plate to an impulsive line load acting on the upper surface is examined. Each layer of the laminate is modelled as a transversely isotropic elastic material for which the fibre direction is inextensible. The method of solution involves the use of integral transforms and the propagator matrix method. The governing equations are solved exactly within each layer and interface continuity conditions and upper and lower surface boundary conditions then satisfied. Numerical inversion of the normal displacement transform is carried out at two fixed times after impact. Results are presented for this displacement at the upper and lower surfaces as well as various interfaces through the plate.
