Plate impact experiments are conducted on a rolled titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V to investigate the effects of structural anisotropy on dynamic deformation and damage, with the loading axis being parallel to the normal direction or transverse direction, referred to as LA parallel to ND and LA parallel to TD, respectively. Free-surface velocity histories are measured to evaluate the mechanical properties; the Hugoniot elastic limits for the LA parallel to ND and LA parallel to TD loading are 3.38 GPa and 3.75 GPa, respectively; the spall strengths are 4.54-4.71 GPa for the LA parallel to ND loading, and 4.69-4.91 GPa for the LA parallel to TD loading, for the impact velocities explored. The postmortem samples are characterized with scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and synchrotron X-ray computed tomography. The {1012} extension twins are activated near spall cracks and their number increases with increasing impact velocity. Microvoids nucleate at both grain (in the matrix) and phase boundaries, and grain boundary nucleation is more likely to occur given the small volume fraction of the 6-phase. Cracks for the LA parallel to ND loading are generally perpendicular to the shock direction, while they are serrated and distributed more discretely for the LA parallel to TD loading. The damage degree for the LA parallel to ND loading is larger than for the LA parallel to TD loading, consistent with the corresponding spall strengths. At Incipient spall, the average size of voids/cracks is larger for the LA parallel to ND loading than for the LA parallel to TD loading. Compared with the LA parallel to ND loading, small voids/cracks are more isotropic and large voids are more anisotropic for the LA parallel to TD loading.
