Abstract: The main force components on inclined offshore structures in the Arctic include the flexural and crushing behavior of the ice sheet, rotation and translation of broken ice, gravity and buoyancy ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken to evaluate anisotropic plasticity theories which have been proposed in the literature. Three different metals in the form of 2.5-in-dia bars were ...

Abstract: A model of floating ice pressure ridges is developed. A two‐dimensional symmetric wedge is assumed to represent the sail (or keel) of a ridge. The stochastic model of stress transfer in particulate media and the equilibrium ...

Abstract: A model test series has been performed to look at the load distribution through newly formed grounded ice rubble. In the tests, a section of a vertical-sided Arctic structure was built above ...

Abstract: A method is proposed to calculate pack ice driving forces. In order to develop the method, stress distributions in a circular ice floe are calculated for various boundary loading conditions. ...
