Abstract: A theoretical analysis of crack nucleation in isotropic polycrystalline ice due to the elastic anisotropy of the constituent crystals has recently been presented by Shyam Sunder and Wu [1]. ...

Abstract: Transient creep, an important deformation mechanism for polycrystalline ice at quasi‐static strain rates, is characterized by rate and temperature sensitivity, by isotropic and kinematic strain hardening, as well as by ...

Abstract: An orthotopic elastic-power law creep model for sea ice is presented and then a finite element method of analysis is developed and applied to study the effect of sea ice anisotropy on ...

Abstract: The extension of Morison's equation to allow for structural motion in predicting the hydrodynamic force on offshore steel jacket platforms may be based on two different hypotheses: (1) The relative velocity model which ...

Abstract: A finite element method of analysis is developed and applied to the study of global and local pressures generated on a cylindrical indenter during sea‐ice deformations in the creeping mode. Numerical simulations are performed ...
