Numerical Analysis on Collision Process of Rigid Body and Box Girder

Through analyzing the real collision process of a steel plate rolling sliding off a lorry and box girder flange of an overpass, the damage degree of box girder may be known, and in this article the collision process is also simulated by means of finite element method so that it may be obtained how the damaged girder collapses and the cracks propagate. Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics are studied during the collision process and the reliability of overpass section collision is analyzed from the angle of energy transfer and dissipation.
