The local crushing of ice is presented by the elastoplastic softening constitutive model of ice material, while the cracks caused by bending failures are realized by cohesive element method. Firstly, the proposed numerical models are introduced and the ice elastoplastic constitutive model is calibrated through simulating an ice crushing experiment. Then the continuous icebreaking process is

Ice breaking process and patterns in level ice of ice breaking ship are numerically calculated in time domain. For commercial ice breaking ships, ice resistance increases excessively in ice breaking procedure with constant crushing stress. Thus, varying crushing stress depending on the velocity vectors and the contact area is newly introduced to reproduce its breaking patterns around the ships

Numerical Simulation of Ice Ridge Breaking "EMSHIP" Erasmus Mundus Master Course, period of study September 2014 February 2016 3 ABSTRACT Increasing economic and industrial activities in Polar Regions require new engineering solutions to deal with arctic hazards. One of the main challenges for vessel navigation in ice are pressure ice ridges — sets of randomly oriented large pieces of
The objective of this master thesis was to develop and implement algorithms in a numerical tool, capable of simulating the process of ship hull breaking through pressure ice ridge. The tool is based on the idea to implement Discrete Element Method (DEM) and corresponding code developed at Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) for simulation of ice ridges creation.
the corresponding numerical model, with variable ice thickness but still infinite ice strength, is compared to the Lagrangian one of Part 1 in sections 3 and 4. In section 5, then, ice strength is limited, and ice is allowed to yield. For the parameterization of ice strength, we rely on suggestions from the literature. (Note that, as we are not carrying out quantitative studies or direct
A numerical model for ice crushing has been constructed that takes into account the physical processes identified in many experimental studies. These include the presence and evolution of highpressure and lowpressure zones, the rapid removal of ice through melting, and the transformation of relatively intact ice (highpressure zone material) to lowpressure pulverized ice through the creation
A simplified numerical model is introduced to predict ice impact force acting on the ship hull in level ice condition. The model is based on icehull collision mechanisms and the essential ice breaking characteristics. The two critical ice failure modes, localized crushing and bending breaking, are addressed. An energy method is used to estimate the crushing force and the indentation

As a result, distinct gliding plane will develop when shear forces are applied. The smaller ice pieces may act like roller bearings for the bigger blocks and small pieces may also be compacted to become bigger mass. Ettema and Urroz (1989) stated
