Analysis of Performance and Influencing Factors of the Ellipsoidal Anti-collision Airbag
Based on the excellent cushioning performance of airbag,an ellipsoidal anti-collision airbag for pier was designed,and the protective deformation and energy dissipation process of the airbag were analyzed by LS-DYNA software.The results show that under the protection of the airbag,the stress on the pier is reduced by 64.66%,and the impact time is prolonged by 330.95%.The impact energy dissipated by the airbag in the form of deflation reaches 61.33%of the initial kinetic energy of the ship,which has obvious protective performance for both the ship and the pier,and it can deflate itself to return to the initial state,achieving the"three non-bad"of the pier,the ship and the anti-collision device.The initial internal pressure,exhaust threshold and vent area which affect the airbag protec-tion performance during the airbag deployment are analyzed,and the optimal initial internal pressure interval,optimal exhaust threshold and optimal vent area interval are given.
