NUMERICAL ESTIMATION OF ICE FORCES ACTING ON INCLINED STRUCTURES AND SHIPS IN LEVEL ICE

The paper presents a theoretical method for calculation of dynamic loads and average ice forces on sloping structures and ships in ice of uniform thickness. The method is used for estimation of ice loads on inclined structures, resistance of ice transiting vessels and ice force distribution on ships manoeuvring in level ice. The calculations are compared with results from full scale measurements.
