Here is a MATLAB code for dynamic analysis of plate bending problems
The results are in excellent accordance with Abaqus results as shown below:

Results of Abaqus:

You can also watch the dynamic response of this code on youtube:






And for the following impact load

Wave front for the Isotropic plate is as follows:








Wave front for the Anisotropic plate is as follows:
