Finite element analysis of the visco-elastic behavior of a spray ice island.
This thesis presents a finite element analysis of the viscoelastic (creep) behavior of a spray ice island under its own self-weight and three levels of lateral loads. Spray ice and its use as a construction material are described in the context of other natural ice forms and the ice environment of t...
