Project Number 83
Date of Summary June 30, 1989
Subject Numerical Modeling of Ice-Structure Interaction
Performing Activity Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Principal Investigator Dr. S. Shyam Sunder
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description The objective was to assess the uncertainties related to the complex nature for modeling the ice-structure interaction process. The major objectives of the project were

(1) to develop a two dimensional constitutive model to characterize the thermo-mechanical behavior of sea ice,

(2) to develop a finite element capability to numerically simulate the time-dependent process leading to failure, and

(3) to conduct a numerical simulation of the ice-structure interaction process for two representative structure.

This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) and it will use information developed by the Technology Assessment and Research Program on ice-mechanics and far-field ice forces to formulate the interactive model.
