A Mechanical Calculation of the Flexible & Floating Anti-Ship Collision Device for Bridge Piers

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study conducts simulation analysis of collision processes between a ship and a pier with the finite element software ABAQUS. It aims to compare peak values of impact forces, stresses and strains of the anti-collision device, and energy changes of the system when with or without the bridge pier protection buffer, so as to verify the device’s role in buffering impact and greatly improving the pier’s resistance to impact.
