Abstract
A benchmark study on several closed-form solutions for the mean crushing strength and the cutting resistance of plated structures during collision or grounding is carried out by comparing theoretical solutions with experimental data. Based on expressions which have been derived for unstiffened structures, an extension of the methods is proposed for longitudinally and/or transversely stiffened structures. Dynamic effects on the crushing and cutting response are discussed, and applicability of the quasistatic formulations to analyze the crushing and cutting damage of the structure in the dynamic situations is investigated.
