Numerical Investigation of Low-Velocity Ice Impact on a Composite Ship Hull Using an FEM/SPH Formulation

In cold climate regions, ships navigate through diverse ice conditions, making the varied interaction scenarios between hulls and ice critically important. It is crucial to consider the safety and integrity of the hull during an ice–hull interaction, especially in the presence of lightweight structu...
