Keywords: Finite element analysis, composite plates, contact law, low velocity,dynamic response

the composite plates, without damage, subject to low velocity impact are studied by the use of finite element analysis.The contact force is calculated in conjunction with the loading and unloading processes. The effects of various parameters, impactor velocity, clamped and simply supported boundary conditions and sequences are examined.
