Measuring Total Ship Bending with a Help of Tensometry during the Full-Scale In Situ Ice Impact Study of Icebreaker “Kapitan Nikolaev

According to the commission of Shtokman Development AG Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) conducted the expedition “Shtokman-2008” in May-June 2008. The main task of the expedition was conducting in situ experiments for definition of the global ice loads at the ship interaction with various types of ice formations. The expedition framework included 14 cycles of experiments. According to test methods worked out by AARI evaluation of ice loads is conducted by measurement of the ship response on impact of ice formations. Meanwhile kinematic parameters of the ship, i.e. linear and angular speeds and accelerations change. In order to reproduce vertical component of ice loads stresses caused by longitudinal hull bending in vertical plane are measured. Description of dynamic response changes is given in the article (Likhomanov at al, 2009). The present paper depicts methods of measurement of stress changes caused by longitudinal hull bending during interaction of the ship with ice formations as well as methods of in situ tensometric data processing for evaluation of vertical component of the global ice load.
