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 …

Ships designed for operation in Polar waters must be approved in accordance with the
International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), adopted by the …

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 …

Forecasts and trends indicate an increase in marine operations in polar waters. The design
of new ships for severe polar conditions is usually solved via theoretical considerations that …

ABSTRACT A new IACS (International Association of Classification Societies) standard for
Polar Ship design, in the form of a Unified Requirement is being developed by an …

Ships that are navigating in ice covered waters are at risk of colliding with icebergs or ice
floes, which can lead to severe damage to the ship's hull in certain conditions. Predicting …

Using the ISO19906 local pressure-area relationship p= 7.4A− 0.7 as a process pressure-
area curve to validate numerical ice models and reconstruct force-displacement …

Over the past decade we have seen an increase in marine operations in Arctic waters.
Despite research and work on several offshore standards and ship rules, the ice loads on …

The paper describes a GPU-based event mechanics (GEM) model of the action of managed
pack ice on a floating offshore structure. The ice cover is represented by a large number of …

This study presents a fatigue analysis procedure for inclined structures operated in level ice
fields. Three methods for calculating the local ice load causing fatigue damage, namely the …
