Summary:
During the research project “Spatial and temporal Load variations in large-Scale ICe-structurE interaction” several series of ice test are performed. Inside these experiments the contact pressures between ice and structure are investigated. The main focus of this project is the spatial and temporal load distribution and the interaction between ship structure and ice. The influence of the structural stiffness to the ice pressures should be clarified. Furthermore will the results used for the development of an ice material model, which is suitable for the simulation of ice structure interaction.
