... and mechanical imperfections. By changing the combined load values, the interactions between bi-axial loads are examined. The influences of lateral pressure level on the structure response are also investigated. The failure process, ultimate strength, and stress components between different cases are compared...

... with lateral pressure was also calculated, which shows lateral pressure has a negligible effect on the dynamic ultimate strength of stiffened plates subjected to the impact load with short durations. Other important conclusions can be obtained from this paper, which are useful insights for the development...
