Due to climate change, commercial vessels may pass now through Arctic pack ice during
summer, when ice beginning to melt. While Arctic ice is melting, there are floating broken-ice …

Laboratory indentation tests were performed with the objective of studying processes of ice
failure during indentation and the pressure distribution at the ice-indenter interface. The tests …

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 …

This paper aims to show how confocal microscopy can be useful for characterizing menisci
in a flat plate heat pipe made of silicon. The capillary structure is made of radial …

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 …

Ships operating in ice-covered waters experience intense loads from ice features,
particularly multiyear ice. Therefore, their structures have to be able to withstand these …

In the calculation of ice loads, reliance is generally placed on analysis of empirical data. The
main reason for this is that the complex behaviour of ice under stress makes it difficult to use …

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 key to enhancing …

Concern for development of technology of particular relevance for the safety of ships and
offshore structures in Arctic regions and ice-covered waters. This includes the assessment of …

Abstract Analysis of loads from icebergs for an Arctic Floater has been performed. The
determination of iceberg loads was guided by the ISO 19906 International Standard. Global …
