Hi everyone,
I have a trouble with plotting 6 similar lines in one figure. But the data are so close to one another? How to solve this?

Many thanks!

Use multiple subplots. Or plot the difference between the lines. Or zoom in, a lot.

figure
base = B(:,1);
plot(A,B(:,2)-base,'-b','LineWidth',1.5)
hold on
plot(A,B(:,3)-base,'-k','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,4)-base,'--r','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,5)-base,'--b','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,6)-base,'--k','LineWidth',1.5)
hold off
set(gca,...
'Units','normalized',...
'FontUnits','points',...
'FontWeight','bold',...
'FontSize',14, ...
'FontName','Times')
% ylabel('Thickness(m)','Fontsize',14, 'FontName','times')
% xlabel('Stress distribution (N/m^2)','Fontsize',14, 'FontName','times')
legend('SS1.2-SS1.1','SS1.3-SS1.1','SS1.4-SS1.1','SS1.5-SS1.1','SS1.6-SS1.1')
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Pressure (bar)')
% set(gca,'yscale','log')
% xlim([100 500]);

Or you might prefer
figure
base = mean(B,2);
plot(A,B(:,1)-base,'-r','LineWidth',1.5)
hold on
plot(A,B(:,2)-base,'-b','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,3)-base,'-k','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,4)-base,'--r','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,5)-base,'--b','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(A,B(:,6)-base,'--k','LineWidth',1.5)
hold off
set(gca,...
'Units','normalized',...
'FontUnits','points',...
'FontWeight','bold',...
'FontSize',14, ...
'FontName','Times')
% ylabel('Thickness(m)','Fontsize',14, 'FontName','times')
% xlabel('Stress distribution (N/m^2)','Fontsize',14, 'FontName','times')
legend('SS1.1-mean','SS1.2-mean','SS1.3-mean','SS1.4-mean','SS1.5-mean','SS1.6-mean')
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Pressure (bar)')
% set(
