Discrete Element Analysis of High-Pressure Zones of Sea Ice on Vertical Structures

In cold regions, ice pressure poses a serious threat to the safe operation of ship hulls and fixed offshore platforms. In this study, a discrete element method (DEM) with bonded particles was adapted to simulate the generation and distribution of local ice pressures during the interaction between le...
