Abstract

In this study, the permanent deformations on the shell plating of the detachable WARC bow were measured and analyzed. The bow was operated mainly on the Saimaa region in Finland from 1986 to 2021. From the measured deformations, the ice loads were calculated using both the analytical methods developed by Ranki and Hayward and non-linear finite element method and these were compared. Finite element analysis was used to show that the load height must have been at maximum 77 mm. The measured loads were compared both to the design ice loads from the IACS PC rules, and to the ice loads calculated with the same basic methods using scenarios and ice properties more aligned with the actual operation of the WARC bow and the ice conditions on lake Saimaa. It was found that the correlation between the hull angles and the ice loads according to the PC rules and the Daley-Popov collision model agree well with the measured results.

期刊介绍： Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere. Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost. Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
