Highlights:

• Experiments of stiffened panels subjected to in-plane compressive load were performed.

• The detailed buckling process of the stiffened panels were obtained by employed the 3D-DIC method.

• Numerical simulations faithfully reproduced the detailed buckling process of the stiffened plates.
