Investigating Load Calculation for Broken Ice and Cylindrical Structures Using the Discrete Element Method

Ice loads are critical forces that impact the structural integrity of offshore equipment in high-latitude sea areas and play a pivotal role in the design of structures in ice-prone regions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate both experimental and numerical approaches to analyze ic...
