The periodic flexural-gravity waves propagating along a frozen channel are investigated. The channel has a rectangular cross section. The fluid in the channel is inviscid, incompressible and covered with ice. The ice is modeled by a thin elastic plate whose thickness varies linearly. Two cases have been considered: the ice thickness varies symmetrically across the channel, being the smallest at the center of the channel and the largest at the channel walls; the ice thickness varies from the smallest value at the one wall to the largest value at another wall. The periodic 2D problem is reduced to the problem of the wave profiles across the channel. The solution of the last problem is obtained by the normal mode method of an elastic beam with linear thickness. The behavior of flexural-gravity waves depending on the inclination parameter of the ice thickness has been studied and the results have been compared with those for a constant-thickness plate. Dispersion relations, profiles of flexural-gravity waves across the channel and distributions of strain in the ice cover have been determined. In the asymmetric case, it is shown that for long waves, the most probable plate failure corresponds to transverse strains at the thin edge of the plate, which can lead to detachment of the ice from the corresponding bank. For short waves, the longitudinal stresses within the plate, localized closer to the thick edge, become maximum. This can lead to cracking of the plate in transverse direction. In the symmetric case, the maximum strains are achieved inside the plate — close to the center, but not necessarily in the midpoint.
The response of a poroelastic ice cover to an external load is considered. The ice cover is modeled by a thin poroelastic floating plate within the linear theory of hydroelasticity. The porosity parameter is defined as the coefficient of proportionality of the velocity of liquid penetration into the plate and hydrodynamic pressure. The fluid under the plate is inviscid and incompressible. The flow caused by the ice deflection is potential. The external load is modeled by a localized smooth pressure. The two-dimensional problem of waves caused by a periodic external pressure on a floating porous-elastic plate is considered. The profiles of the generated waves are calculated for a given oscillation frequency of the amplitude of the external pressure. It was found that taking porosity into account leads to damping of oscillations in a distance from the external load
The unsteady problem of a load moving along a channel covered with broken ice is considered. Deflection of the broken ice is described by the equation of flotating liquid. The channel has a rectangular cross-section. The fluid in the channel is inviscid and incompressible. The flow caused by deflections of broken ice is potential. The external load is modeled by a smooth localized pressure distribution which moves along the centre line of the channel at a constant speed. With the help of the Fourier transform along the channel the original problem was reduced to the problem of the wave profile across the channel, which was solved by the method of separating variables. The deflections of the broken ice are studied for large times. The solution is presented in the form of sum of local deflection near the load and infinite system of waves propagating from the load with the speed of the load. Dispersion relations, phase and group speeds of these waves are found. The formation of gravity waves in a channel covered with broken ice depending on the speed of the load is studied.
Hydroelastic waves propagating along a channel covered with ice of non-uniform thickness are considered. The channel has a rectangular cross section. The fluid in the channel is inviscid and incompressible. The ice is modeled as a thin elastic plate. The ice thickness changes linearly. The problem is reduced to the problem of the wave profile across the channel, which is solved using the normal modes of an elastic beam with non-uniform thickness. It is shown that with the decrease in the change in the ice thickness, the modes approach the normal modes of an elastic beam with a constant thickness. The behavior of the dispersion relations of the hydroelastic waves depending on the parameter describing the change in the ice thickness is studied.
