...Ning Xu; Qianjin Yue; Yan Qu; Xiangjun Bi; Andrew Palmer Ice-structure interaction plays a central part in determining ice loads and ice-induced vibrations. This is a controversial research issue, and many factors make the problem more complicated. The authors have been monitoring several ice...

... approaches involved in life-cycle cost evaluation, such as the global reliability under the extreme ice load, the dynamic reliability, and fatigue life induced by ice vibration, are studied. The proposed life-cycle optimum design formulas are applied to a typical ice-resistant platform in Bohai Bay...
