The ultimate load-carrying capacity and the relevant collapse modes are identified. The load-axial\/lateral displacement relationships and local strain for each opening degree are analysed with developed regression equations for the ultimate capacity of stiffened plates as a function of different degrees of openings and the resting volume and residual cross-sectional area. A series of finite element analyses are performed. The experimental and numerical results are compared and show the complexity of predicting the ultimate capacity and the collapse mode as the degree of openings increases. The experimental results are compared for aged steel plates, and high-tensile stiffened plates considering the same degrees of openings, showing good agreement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse11040842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]],"date-time":"2023-04-17T03:14:09Z","timestamp":1681701249000},"page":"842","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Structural Capacity of Perforated Stiffened Plates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0497-5476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Saad-Eldeen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Port Said University, Port Fouad 42526, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7308-2586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yordan","family":"Garbatov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.5957\/jsr.1975.19.1.1","article-title":"A review of effective plating for use in the analysis of stiffened plating in bending and compression","volume":"19","author":"Faulkner","year":"1975","journal-title":"J.
