Abstract:Exploitation of the Arctic's resources requires the mastery of the risks caused by extreme ice conditions. The design of offshore structures subjected to extreme ice conditions is a challenge for engineers since there are very few advanced design tools available on the market, especially those able to cope with the large variety of ice interaction and failure mechanisms.
Different approaches have been used to model and study ice behavior. Among them are analytical, numerical and empirical approa… Show more
