Ice-Structure Interaction Analysis: Inverse Ice Force Prediction for Stiffened Plate and Dynamic Simulation
Offshore regions of the Arctic and the Great Lakes hold valuable resources in many respects for harvesting energy and serving as important shipping lanes. Ice loading poses a threat to structures in these regions with high local pressure and various failure modes. It is thus essential to evaluate th...

Offshore regions of the Arctic and the Great Lakes hold valuable resources in many respects for harvesting energy and serving as important shipping lanes. Ice loading poses a threat to structures in these regions with high local pressure and various failure modes. It is thus essential to evaluate the ice peak loadings using limited and site-specific data. This thesis aims to better predict the peak ice loading by developing an efficient inverse ice loading prediction methodology and accurate stiffened plate analysis for marine structure design. Additionally, the behavior of the ice-structure interaction is studied mathematically to understand the cyclic dynamic ice-loading applied on offshore structures during continuous ice crushing. Multiple inverse algorithms are presented for calculating the variable ice pressure acting on a stiffened steel plate. The analytical models are formulated to calculate the quasi-static pressure caused by contact of lake ice driven primarily by thermal expansion and winds. Loading pressures are calculated using strain measurements from a stiffened plate installed on a Keweenaw Peninsula lighthouse in Lake Superior.
