One of the results of impact loading is the dynamic response of structures. This can cause far more damage than the effects of static loading. Composite materials are more and more used in engineering praxis. This allows the creation materials of high strength at low weight which are more durable then the same construction made of homogenous materials. This paper presents a study of dynamic response of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite plates in the form of modal analysis and transient response (subjected to unit pulse point load in the center of the plate). The plate consists of layered uniaxial carbon fiber fabric and the layers are layered symmetrically at different angles for various variants. The response in the form of displacement magnitude is measured. At the end a comparison study is presented for each analysis.
