Abstract The action of drifting ice floes may induce strong vibrations of offshore structures, and further reduce the structural safety and serviceability. The aim of this paper is to develop a method by considering ice crushing as a stochastic process. On the basis of ice force spectrum which considers the time and spatial correlation between the local ice forces, a simulation methodology to generate the stochastic ice forces process of vertical offshore structure is proposed. The crucial segment in the simulation is to accurately calculate the effective ice pressure, and it is accomplished by an empirical… More >
