Experimental data from ice basin tests with vertically sided cylindrical structures

Basin tests were performed at the Aalto Ice Tank to gather data on ice-structure action and interaction from ice failing against a vertically sided cylindrical pile. The tests were performed with a real-time hybrid test setup, which combined physical and numerical components to simulate a range of test structures in real-time. The dataset...

Experimental study into the dependence of ice-induced vibrations on dynamic structural properties

Arctic and sub-arctic regions are more and more used to build offshore wind farms. There is a lack of model-scale tests where dynamic sturcutral properties were systematically varied to derive the influence of these properties on boundaries of the three crushing regimes. Those regimes are intermittent crushing, where both the ice load and...
