The influence of floating ice on the dynamic behavior of ships and offshore structures
depends on many factors such as ice thickness and its relative speed with respect to the …

Ice bound shipping is considerably more dangerous than shipping under more favourable
water conditions. During winter the Baltic Sea can be covered with ice over an average of …

The paper explores the use of a GPU-Event-Mechanics (GEM) simulation to assess local ice
loads on a vessel operating in pack ice. The methodology uses an event mechanics concept …

This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and
structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state …

A probabilistic model is described for evaluating the long term ice loads encountered by a
ship's shell structures. The model aims to give results that can be used in the development of …

This paper describes the design of an efficient parallel implementation of an ice simulator
that simulates the behaviour of a ship operating in pack ice. The main idea of the method is …

Featuring real-world examples and practical methodology, this rigorous text explores time
dependence in the mechanics of ice. Emphasizing use of full scale data, and implementing …

This paper described a procedure for predicting the ice loads acting on a hull of an
icebreaker that employs a six degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) inertial measurement system …

In the polar regions of the world, ships and offshore structures may be subject to impacts
with large ice features. Pressure-area models are commonly used to determine both local …

Ice is the dominant feature in artic waters for most or all of the year. In sub-artic regions, ice
can be present in many forms for part of the year. The eastern coastal waters in Canada are …
