In this study, dynamic analysis of carbon plain weave square plates with different damage patterns including pattern of post-low velocity impact and patterns of post-ballistic impact is considered. For this purpose, vibration tests are performed to present the vibration characteristics of the four-edge clamped square plates. Effects of bullet-tip geometry, projectile velocity and impact damage location on the vibration characteristics are examined experimentally. Results are given in graphical form. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
