Buckling analysis of semi-infinite ice sheet
A finite element analysis has been performed to study the buckling of a semi-infinite ice sheet due to an in-plane distributed load. This work has relevance in the determination of the forces generated on marine structures due to buckling failure of ice sheets. In this analysis, an ice sheet is trea...
