During September of 1986 the POLAR STAR conducted ice impact tests on ice pressure ridges and ice floes in the Alaskan portion of the Beaufort Sea. Strain gages were used to obtain measurements of the bending strain on the ship hull girder of the POLAR STAR during impacts with ice features. These me...
