...Jonathan Soper; Erik Veitch; Rebecca Thistle; Jennifer Smith; Brian Veitch Ice management is essential for maintaining the safety of offshore operations in Arctic regions. We present the combined results of three experiments conducted in a full-mission bridge simulator specially designed for ice...

..., 2013. Assoc. Editor: Walter L. Kuehnlein. Deformation in polycrystalline ice involves many mechanisms. It was considered that primary creep contributes to the inelastic straining of the material by mechanisms such as dislocation mobility. So, a deformation model consisting of instantaneous...

...Rocky S. Taylor; Ian J. Jordaan; Chuanke Li; Denise Sudom The design of structures for ice conditions requires knowledge of local ice pressures to allow for appropriate levels of structural strengthening. Full-scale field data are keys to enhancing our understanding and modeling of ice behavior...

...Chuanke Li; Ian J. Jordaan; Rocky S. Taylor Ice load estimation is required in the design of ships and offshore structures for arctic and subarctic conditions. This paper focuses on the estimation of local ice pressures. The “event-maximum” method for local ice pressure analysis is a probabilistic...

...Guojun Huang; Pengfei Liu A dynamic model for the ice-induced vibration (IIV) of structures is developed in the present study. Ice properties have been taken into account, such as the discrete failure, the dependence of the crushing strength on the ice velocity, and the randomness of ice failure...

...Tuomo Kärnä; Yan Qu; Xiangjun Bi; Qianjin Yue; Walter Kuehnlein This paper presents a model of dynamic ice forces on vertical offshore structures. The model concerns a loading scenario where a competent ice sheet is drifting and crushing against the structure. Full scale data obtained on two...

...Krzysztof Szilder; Edward P. Lozowski; Gerhard Reuter The influence of atmospheric conditions (specifically precipitation rate and external heat flux) on the freezing rain ice accretion forming on a non-rotating, horizontal cylinder is studied, using an analytical model based on a simple form...
