Sumario:Numerical analysis of collision is an important aspect of bridge seismic research. This paper introduces precise integration to the numerical analysis of seismic collision. Firstly, the collision forces of four contact element models were expressed in a unified form, including linear spring model, Kelvin-Voigt model, Hertz model, and Jan-Hertz-Damp model, and then the precision integration formula was derived for solving the collision force. Next, a collision time search method was proposed under the linear acceleration hypothesis, and the seismic collision was divided into a collision phase and a non-collision phase. Different time steps were adopted for the two phases. This strategy was verified by comparing simulation results with the data of theoretical analysis and shaking table test. The results show that precision integration ensures the accuracy of numerical calculation for bridge structure collision under seismic action, and achieves a high calculation efficiency; the contact element model and model parameters should be selected reasonably to analyze seismic collision of bridges; the Jan-Hertz-Damp model of contact elements boasts the highest simulation accuracy among the commonly used models.
