Dynamic activity and crushed ice behavior in medium-scale ice-structure interactions
Experimental procedures and results from ice indentation programs conducted by Mobil Oil Canada at Pond Inlet (1984) and by Memorial University of Newfoundland on Hobson's Choice Ice Island (1989) are detailed. Both field programs utilized a hydraulically powered servo-controlled indentation sy...
