This paper represents the state-of-the-art in the field of ice tank numerical simulation
methods. It gives a comprehensive review of existing commercial and prototype numerical …

In sea ice geophysics, the formulation and implementation of a continuum anisotropic ice
dynamics model is required in order to increase the spatial resolution of the Polar Ice …

The physical processes involved in the interaction of ice masses with offshore structures are
described. For design purposes, two pressure-area relationships have been deduced, which …

A set of lab-to structural-scale 0.5< L< 80 m) in-situ full thickness (1.8 m) fracture tests were
conducted on first-year sea ice at Resolute, NWT using self-similar (plan view) edge-cracked …

The major processes that occur when level ice interacts with slo** structures (especially
wide structures) are the fracturing of ice and upcoming ice fragments accumulating around …

The structural crashworthiness analysis involving buckling, plasticity, crushing, and fracture
with the strain-rate effects is required to evaluate the characteristics of structural …

For icebreakers to navigate polar routes, the ability to break through ice sheet is extremely
important. To quantify this, technology that can estimate the mechanical behaviors of ice and …

In practical offshore structure/icebreaker designs, it is critical to capture the salient failure
modes of the ice feature. The dominant failure modes are influenced by the structural …

Slo** structures have gained increasing interests in recent years due to their capability of
breaking the incoming level ice in a dominant bending failure mode. However,'level ice'is a …

At lab-scale, issues such as inhomogeneity and polycrystallinity are especially important to
the fracture of S1 freshwater ice. S1 freshwater ice is typically composed of large grains with …
