There is an increasing need to construct engineering structures in the Arctic sea. The
requirement is principally generated by the oil and gas industry, because of the substantial …

Ship-iceberg collisions are currently a hot topic of research. The modeling of iceberg
material is crucial for ice mechanics, and the main objective of the present work is to …

The interaction between slo** marine structure and level ice is a complex process, which
contains local crushing and flexural failure. The ice fragments fallen from ice sheet will …

This paper presents a review of the state of the art of model-scale ice with a focus on
mechanical behavior, mechanical testing and scaling. The goal of the model-scale ice …

There is a strong perception in the ice mechanics community that during ice–structure
interaction, the ice pressure always decreases as the area of contact increases. This …

Due to complex mesoscopic and the distinct macroscopic evolution characteristics of ice,
especially for its brittle-to-ductile transition in dynamic response, it is still a challenging task …

The rigid-plastic theory is widely used to estimate structural plastic damage in ship collision
and some other structural impact cases under the assumption that the impactor is an …

The interaction of ice with a polar ship is complex, which may involve several ice failure
mechanisms such as local crushing, tensile, cracking, bending, shearing, sliding and the …

This paper constitutes a review and evaluation of current analytical methods for determining
quasi-static ice forces on bridge piers in rivers. Both peer-reviewed and grey literature is …

In cold regions, ice pressure poses a serious threat to the safe operation of ship hulls and
fixed offshore platforms. In this study, a discrete element method (DEM) with bonded …
