Abstract:This study presents a numerical investigation of free field ice gouging in layered cohesive seabeds comprising stiff over soft clay. A three-dimensional, half-space, dynamic large deformation finite element (LDFE) analysis was conducted using the Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) approach. To simulate the seabed, a Tresca soil model with the strain rate and strain-softening effects was coded into a user subroutine. The accuracy of the model was verified by comparing its results with those of published experime… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
