Abstract
Numerical simulation of static indentation and lateral impact tests of laminated composite plates, using a commercial finite element system are presented. Extensive results from a parametric study are also prov ided to supplement the experimental result. It is concluded that a non linear and transient response analysis was needed to predict the defor mation and damage measured in the tests.
