Featuring real-world examples and practical methodology, this
rigorous text explores time dependence in the mechanics of ice.
Emphasizing use of full scale data, and implementing risk-based
design methods, mechanical theory is combined with design and
modelling. Readers will gain understanding of fundamental concepts
and modern advances of ice mechanics and ice failure processes,
analysis of field data, and use of probabilistic design methods,
with applications to the interaction of ships and offshore
structures with thick ice features or icebergs. The book highlights
the use of viscoelastic theory, including nonlinearity with stress
and the effects of microstructural change, in the mechanics of ice
failure and fracture. The methods of design focus on risk analysis,
with emphasis on rational limit-state principles and safety. Full
discussion of historical discoveries and modern advances –
including Hans Island, Molikpak, and others – support up-to-date
methods and models to make this an ideal resource for designers and
researchers.
