Abstract: Hardwick, Vt., having experienced 10 ice-jam floods in

Abstract: Iceberg impact design loads for offshore structures can be estimated by incorporating an ice/structure interaction model in a probabilistic framework, or risk analysis. The relevant iceberg and ...

Abstract: A model has been developed to examine the effect of the superposition of turbulent buffeting and fluid-elastic excitation on the response of a single flexible tube in an array exposed to ...

Abstract: In the experimental determination of fluid-elastic stability thresholds in tube arrays, the critical flow velocity is normally approached from below. Once large amplitude whirling motions are ...

Abstract: Wave tank studies were conducted to determine the kinematics of “small” ice masses in storm waves typical of the Grand Banks region (10–14-s periods, 12–15-m heights). The models tested spanned ...

Abstract: This paper describes model bergy bit/semi-submersible impact tests conducted in the 58-m wave tank at Memorial University. The objective of the tests was to develop a method to accumulate ...

Abstract: The motion response of small icebergs in waves has been the subject of recent investigation to provide information for the design of offshore structures resistant to glacial ice impact. Since ...

Abstract: A simple theoretical model has been developed from first principles for the fluid-elastic instability in heat exchanger tube bundles. A series of experiments were conducted to verify the basic ...

Abstract: Communities located on small, northern rivers can experience severe breakup ice jams. While flood damages may be significant locally, they are often insufficient to justify the cost of conventional flood-control structures. ...

Abstract: The Dynamics of Iceberg Grounding and Scouring (DIGS) experiment was conducted in the Labrador Sea during August 1985. The objectives of the experiment were to obtain full-scale data sets ...
