Project Number | 196 |
Date of Summary | March 31, 1995 |
Subject | Sea Ice Scaling Effects |
Performing Activity | Massachusetts Institute of Technology |
Principal Investigator | Dr. S. Shyam Sunder |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | Completed |
Description | Develop physically based constitutive models that are computationally refined and are able to achieve a fundamental understanding of the many concurrently operating mechanisms governing the effects of scale on ice-ice and ice- structure interaction processes. The project focuses on long-term research objectives to develop a rational theory for explaining the very large-scale effects observed in the ice pressures generated on structures during ice structure interactive events. |
