Abstract: Nominal failure pressure of ice decreases as the size of the contact area increases, over a wide range of scales. In this paper, the new and emerging concepts of fractals have been introduced ...

Abstract: When a buckle propagates down an underwater pipeline due to excessive hydrostatic pressure, the permanent plastic deformations and sectional collapse of the tube are restricted to a finite length ...

Abstract: Failure analysis of an ice floe impacting on a fixed arctic offshore structure has been carried out. The ice floe has been idealized to be an edge-loaded, inertia-driven, thin circular disk ...
