Abstract

With the development of the transport industry, ship and bridge collision events occur from time to time. To mitigate the damage caused by such events, researchers have studied the effectiveness of anti-collision devices. This paper uses LS-DYNA finite element software to simulate the ship and bridge collision processes with different anti-collision devices. The study analyses the crash avoidance of the anti-collision box in terms of impact force on the bridge abutment, displacement, energy and the impact on the ship. The results indicate that flexible devices, particularly the new airbag devices, provide better protection for bridge piers. However, when considering safety, economy, and collision performance, steel-FRP combination devices have the highest practical value.
