Description
Summary:The interaction between a ship and sea ice is a complex process depending on the ice properties, the ice geometry and the relative velocity between the ship and the ice. The effect of important parameters such as ship speed and ice thickness on the impact force are studied by means of finite element model. Idealized ice element types are applied to finite element model in order to survey the impact force and the structural response of icebreaker ARAON subjected to sea ices. Interaction behaviors obtained by finite element model considering the varying parameters are also discussed to compare the numerical results with the design data of ARAON.
