Practical scenarios and force determinations for iceberg impact on fixed structures / Ben C. Gerwick, Jr.
Title: | Practical scenarios and force determinations for iceberg impact on fixed structures / Ben C. Gerwick, Jr. |
Author(s): | Gerwick, Ben C., |
Date: | 1990. |
Publisher: | Southampton: Computational Mechanics Publications |
In: | Ice technology for polar operations : proceedings of the Second International Conference on Ice Technology, held at Downing College, Cambridge University, UK, during 18-20 September 1990. (1990.), |
Abstract: | Examines factors involved in impact. Empirical semi-probabilistic approach is suggested as alternative to more usual probabilistic one. Latter is flawed by necessity of empirical assumptions for some lesser, but not negligible, factors. This is computationally demanding and alternative may be suitable, at least for initial design. |
