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 …

Ship collisions and grounding represent significant potential incidents which may result in
very unfavorable consequences, such as economic loss, environmental damage and …

In the structural design of the Polar Class ships, glancing impact with ice has been
considered as the governing load scenario for dimensioning the bow structure. At present …

Laboratory-grown cone-shaped ice specimens (1 m diameter) were utilized to load large
structural grillages into a plastic response domain. The scantlings of the grillages were …

Collision events may have severe consequences, and it is important to design both ship and
offshore structures so that they have sufficient resistance to a collision event. The main …

A new International Association of Classification Societies standard for polar ship design, in
the form of a unified requirement is being developed by an international committee with …

The main focus of this research work is to develop a velocity dependent ice flexural failure
model through numerical investigation of ship icebreaking process. In addition, the present …

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 …

Ice-strengthened ships inevitably suffer from ice floe impacts during navigation in icy
regions. Under some extreme-ice-impact loadings, the ship structure will experience plastic …

The performance and consequence of FPSOs subjected to large impact loads such as
collisions from supply vessels or merchant vessels are of great concern in the offshore …
