Abstract: The quasi-steady thermal ice growth model was recast in state-space form and used with the Kalman filter to estimate ice thickness and to recursively estimate the model parameters for thermal ice growth. This approach was ...

Abstract: The stresses induced in ice covers by river waves are investigated as a possible mechanism for causing transverse cracks during breakup. The maximum stress levels that river waves can cause in the ice cover are determined ...

Abstract: The propagation of waves in ice‐covered channels is analyzed using linearized forms of the three equations governing one‐dimensional unsteady flow in rectangular ice‐covered channels. The equations describe fluid continuity, ...

Abstract: Each winter, municipal water supply and thermal power plants drawing water from the Great Lakes face the problem of their water intakes becoming blocked by frazil ice formed in the lakes. Little is known about the manner ...

Abstract: In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd introduced empirical equations for predicting horizontal displacement from liquefaction-induced lateral spreading; these equations have become popular in engineering practice. The equations ...

Abstract: Manufacturing processes used to deposit hard coatings often produce cracks which reside within the coating, at the interface, or in the substrate. These cracks originate from material defects ...
