Abstract
Eight-ply quasi-isotropic circular composite plates of Thornel 300 graphite in Narmco 5208 epoxy resin (T300/5208) were analyzed to obtain the large deformation behavior under low-velocity impact type point loads. A simple plate-membrane coupling model was developed. The plate-membrane coupling model was used to obtain the large deformation shapes for the thin circular composite laminates. The plate-membrane coupling model was verified by conducting a series of tests on clamped circular quasi-isotropic laminates.
