The potential collision between the ship and the pipe piles of the jacket structure brings huge risks to the safety of an offshore platform. Due to their high energy-absorbing capacity, honeycomb structures have been widely used as impact protectors in various engineering applications. This paper proposes a data-driven intelligent approach for the prediction of the collision response of honeycomb-reinforced structures under sh...

As an important protective facility on offshore platform, the blast wall is of great significance in resisting oil and gas explosions. Honeycomb structures are widely used due to their unique deformation and mechanical properties under dynamic impact loads. The aim of this research is to develop an optimized design for an offshore sandwich blast wall with different honeycomb cores. The uniqueness of this paper is providing the...

The collision between the pipe legs of jacket platforms and bypassing ships is of great concern for the safety assessment of platforms. Honeycomb structures have been widely used owing to their unique deformation and mechanical properties under dynamic impact loads. In this paper, two typical honeycomb structures, namely hexagonal honeycomb and arrow honeycomb, were constructed for the impact protection of inclined pipe legs i...
