Ship performance in level ice involves problems such as attainable speed and
maneuverability under different ice thickness. As the alternative to analytical methods …

For ship structural design and good maneuverability in an ice-covered sea, the local and
global load of ice cover on ships should be well understood. This paper reviews the …

With increasing interest in resource exploitation and shipping in the Arctic, the focus on ice
class ships and offshore structures is growing every year. In Arctic waters collision with ice is …

More and more people are attracted to go North. To design a fixed or a floating structure for
Arctic conditions, to set operational limits or to specify certain safety requirements, one must …

Low-and non-ice-class ship-ice interactions are modelled with a shared-energy approach,
which typically models the internal mechanics with nonlinear finite element methods. For …

Local pressures are generally determined based on extreme pressures obtained in
measurements. The exposure of structural components is an issue that needs attention …

'Spatial'pressure-area curves are required to determine design loads on a local structure,
such as plates and frames in ice load condition. However, plotting a practical …

This chapter addresses the issue of local frame design for transversely stiffened ship
structures and shows that the importance of load distribution and length on the frame …

Understanding of 'spatial'pressure distribution is required to determine design loads on local
structures, such as plating and framing. However, obtaining a practical 'spatial'pressure …

A semi-empirical method, presented by Biao Su, for simulating the motions and ice loads of
a ship in the continuous mode of ice breaking, was implemented with some changes. The …
