SUMMARY
Abdul Nazeer seeks assistance in calculating the contact force exerted by a sphere impacting a composite laminated plate, as well as determining the plate's stiffness and deflections over time. The discussion emphasizes the need for precise calculations in composite materials under impact conditions. Key methods and tools for these calculations include finite element analysis (FEA) and specific material properties of the composite laminate.
