A MATLAB implementation of our model for the simulation of dynamic ice-structure interaction is presented. The model allows for the simulation of the interaction between sea ice and vertically sided offshore structures and to reproduce and predict the development of ice-induced vibrations. This includes the regimes of intermittent crushing, frequency lock-in, and continuous brittle crushing. The code shared here is a 'light version' of the full model; excluding pre- and post-processing tools, ice buckling, and ice drift modules developed at TU Delft. The structure is represented by a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator. The aim of sharing this code is to facilitate the further development of the model and its use in the design of offshore structures. To inquire about the full model, or for any questions related to its application, please contact dr.ir. H. (Hayo) Hendrikse ([e-mail]).
