description Ice accretion can cause problems on polar ships, ocean platforms, and in other marine industries. It is important to understand the interface debonding behavior between ice and the surface of equipment. In this work, we created a mechanical model to analyze the interface debonding behavior between a square-based ice cuboid and an elastic coating base, using contact mechanics and fracture mechanics. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) simulation was used to simulate the interface debonding for normal and shear separation. A bilinear cohesive zone model (CZM) was used to simulate the interface between the ice cuboid and the elastic coating. We investigated the effect of the elastic modulus <i>E</i> of an elastic film on the critical detachment force <i>F<sub>c</sub></i> for normal and shear separation. The results showed that <i>F<sub>c</sub></i> increases with an increase of the elastic modulus of the elastic film. When <i>E</i> exceeds a certain level, <i>F<sub>c</sub></i> achieves a constant value and then remains stable. Finally, a series of epoxy/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) interpenetrating polymer-network (IPN) gel coatings with different elastic moduli were prepared. The ice tensile and shear adhesion strengths (<i>σ</i><sub>ice</sub> and <i>τ</i><sub>ice</sub>) of the coatings were measured. The results were roughly consistent with the results of the numerical simulation when <i>E</i> < 1 MPa.
