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 …

With the increase of marine activities in the Arctic area, the demand for reliable design of
marine structures is growing. Numerous publications can be found regarding simulations of …

In this paper, the dynamic responses and energy dissipation characteristics of polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) foam core sandwich plates under ice impact are investigated. The ice impact …

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 …

This paper presents a finite element model for the simulation of ice–structure interaction
problems, which are dominated by crushing. The failure mode of ice depends significantly …

In this paper, a three-dimensional constitutive ice model with nonlinear viscoelastic and
plastic components acting in series is proposed for the dynamic simulation of ice-structure …

Ice action on ships and offshore structures is commonly determined by calculating the
contact ice pressure. The aim of this paper is to describe the empirical background for …

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 …

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 focuses on the mechanisms and limits for the peak ice load values on inclined
marine structures, and presents a buckling model, which explains well the phenomena …
