We significantly extend the results of Miles & Sneyd ( J. Fluid Mech. , vol. 497, 2003, pp. 435–439) for an accelerating line load on a floating ice plate in their simple linear mathematical model by proceeding to numerical calculations for the response due to a decelerating load. Our results sh...
