Is this sentence correct? When should I add a "which"? It is of great importance to study the arrangement of plates (which is) subjected to impact. Is it correct if I ignore the which is?

You can ignore "which is", and the sentence will still be perfectly correct. This is called a participle clause, or a reduced relative clause. By removing "which is", you don't need to worry about the tense of the clause (which were? which will be? which have been?).

It's better to add it, because if you don't it will let an empty gap and then the sentence won't be as good as it is with the "Which"
