Abstract

In this paper, the modelling and the estimation of vessel stopping time during a head-on collision event against the riser-guard of a jacket platform is investigated using the general purpose FEM code, ANSYS Transient Dynamics. In the absence of collision data, impulsive force equation with assumed vessel stopping time will be tested until the desired system strain energy is achieved. Three scenarios with different assumed stopping time is to be investigated, of which one is presented in this paper. Accurate vessel stopping time will be used to determine the reaction forces during collision with riser-guards.
