CONSTITUTIVE MODELLING OF POLYCRYSTALLINE ICE

This paper examines the constituent elements of a numerical model for simulating ice-structure interaction processes. The discussion emphasises the fundamental element of the model, i.e. the constitutive model, and elucidates the physical basis of a flow model for polycrystalline ice proposed by Shyam Sunder and Wu (1989). Also discussed is the physical interpretation of material parameters and their determination from standard tests on ice and the validation of the predictive capabilities of the numerical model.
