Numerical modelling present an alternative to the more industry-accepted full-scale trials
and physical model tests for predicting ice actions on ships and offshore platforms in a …

A three-dimensional ice-water-structure interaction numerical model is developed to
simulate the ice breaking and water entry of rigid spheres. The algorithm employs the …

Peridynamic theory has been applied satisfactorily to crack and damage in massive
materials and structures. The use of peridynamics to calculate ice loads and simulate the …

Ice control structures (ICSs) play a vital role in preventing ice jams and safeguarding
communities by either stabilizing ice cover or relocating jams upstream. Understanding and …

The existence of ice and its interaction with structure greatly threaten the navigation of the
icebreaker. Due to the damage characteristics of ice, the traditional numerical ways based …

In this study, a peridynamic material model for a polycrystalline ice is utilised to investigate
its fracture behaviour under dynamic loading condition. First, the material model was …

Abstract Finite Element Method (FEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method
are effective methods to study the interaction between marine structures and sea ice …

The main focus of this research work is to develop a velocity dependent ice flexural failure
model through numerical investigation of ship icebreaking process. In addition, the present …

The finite element method (FEM) has been extensively applied to model failure of ice but
suffers from mesh distortion especially when fracture or fragmentation is involved. The …

Icebreaking vessels will probably be collided by sea ice from different directions when they
are moored or dynamically positioned. It may form serious ice rubble accumulations and …
