Abstract: In this paper, we consider the flow in a journal bearing. The Sommerfeld approximate solution is well-known and is discussed in all lubrication texts (1-3). Perhaps less well-known is that an ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model of dynamic ice forces on vertical offshore structures. The model concerns a loading scenario where a competent ice sheet is drifting and crushing against the ...

Abstract: Jackup structures that have cylindrical legs with gear teeth are widely used in shallow waters. Currently, there is a growing demand for the design of ice-resistant jackup platforms in ice-prone cold regions. Due to the ...

Abstract: Ice-structure interaction plays a central part in determining ice loads and ice-induced vibrations. This is a controversial research issue, and many factors make the problem more complicated. The ...
