Abstract
The propagator matrix method together with the integral transform formalism is employed to derive the transient response in a fibre composite plate due to a normal impulsive line load acting on its upper surface. Each layer of the composite is modelled as a transversely isotropic elastic material which is inextensible along the fibre direction. Detailed plots are presented showing the stress variation with distance from the impact line at two different times and two orientations of the line load.
