Abstract
The structural response for the plain weave composite GFRP circular cylindrical shell under low-velocity central impact by a foreign body is presented. The analytical solution using the first order shear deformation theory with the Hertzian contact law is derived. A numerical analysis using the finite element structural code and the experiment with the drop weight test apparatus are carried out concurrently. The strain responses of the shell obtained in three ways are well agreed with each other.
