A new numerical model simulating ship–ice interaction is proposed in this paper. Since
icebreaking is in its nature a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic problem, the numerical …

Fractal geometry is revolutionizing the descriptive mathematics of applied materials systems.
Rather than presenting a mathematical treatise, Brian Kaye demonstrates the power of …

This paper presents a suite of ice load models using a coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic
numerical model to study dynamic response of floating offshore wind turbines in cold …

Breakage of particles plays a key role in force transmission in granular materials. Discrete
element method (DEM) simulations are often used to model granular materials, but …

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 …

The design of ice capable ships includes reaching an adequate performance, adequate hull
and machinery strength and proper functioning of the ship in ice and in cold weather. Good …

A conceptual model of ice failure is proposed. The model describes ice failure as a nested
hierarchy of discrete failure events. In this model, each failure event changes the geometry …

The expected growth of maritime and offshore activities in arctic areas has led to an
increased interest in understanding the risks associated with operating in ice-infested …

This paper presents a solution to the ship–ice interaction problem solved in the time domain
by a combined method involving numerical simulations and semi-empirical formula. The …

This paper focuses on the influences of the dynamic effects of ship–ice–water interaction on
ship performance, ship motions, and ice resistance. The effects of the dynamic bending of …
