    Even though the influence of impact energy on the low velocity impact of laminated plate is well reported, the influence of relative mass of the impactor has not been addressed extensively. This work investigates the effect of impactor mass relative to that of target and other associated factors like impactor velocity and the target plate size on the impact response of a GLARE plate. A 3 D finite element analysis incorporating Newmark-β method and Hertzian contact is used considering appropriate contact stiffness to evaluate the contact force. Results show that the impactor mass significantly influences the contact force and interfacial delamination.
