Stiffened plates are used in a wide variety of engineering structures. Based on the published experiments, two kinds of weld models were established in simulation and the influence of weld model on the response of stiffened plates under blast loading was analyzed. The results show that the deflections and failure modes of stiffened plates from simulation are in good agreement with those from experiments, and that the weld model has little influence on the deformation and the critical charge of the plates. A simple model can be used for analyzing the large stiffened structures under blast loading.
