A test environment that contains a shock tube is designed and set to experiment on the transient response of blast loaded laminated plates. Experimental and numerical results show a good agreement in terms of displacement, strain, and acceleration versus time. The responses of glass/epoxy, Kevlar/epoxy, and carbon/epoxy composite plates are also investigated by using GDQ method and the results are compared with the basalt/epoxy composite plate and discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBasaltexperimental mechanicslaminated composite platefirst-order shear deformationcomputational modelingblast loaddynamic responsegeneralized differential quadraturelarge deflectionshock tubeArticle4546Q144127WOS:000519341400001Q1
