This paper presents the extensive non-linear finite element (FE) analysis of the dynamic ultimate strength of the ship plate structures under uniaxial compressive load. An empirical formula for predicting the dynamic ultimate compressive strength of ship plates, expressed in terms of the geometric dimensions of plates and impact speeds, was developed. The dynamic ultimate strength of a tested specimen is calculated based on the nonlinear finite element method, and the comparison with test results shows the applicability of the present numerical method. The developed formula was verified against results using ABAQUS non-linear FE software for a series of 561 rectangular plates and a good agreement between the proposed formula and FE results were achieved. The formula implicitly includes the effect of initial imperfections with an average level. The developed method was also applied to the outer bottom plate of 3100TEU and 10,000TEU container ships.
