| Description |
This is a Joint
Industry Project (JIP) with eight oil companies as participants. The objective
was to
conduct an international workshop on sea ice mechanics and ice modeling. The workshop focused on the current state of practice and future research needs relative to offshore oil
and gas facilities. The workshop also reviewed the results of the Office of Naval
Research Sea Ice Mechanics Initiative (SIMI). A significant amount of new Arctic field
data and modeling results are now available as a result of the SIMI program. The kinds of
data that were reviewed during the workshop include: sea ice stress; ice motion; ice thickness
distribution and keel depth; ice and keel strengths, ice friction coefficients, Arctic
weather, ocean currents, ice dynamics and thermodynamics, ice constitutive laws; ice
failure mechanisms; and ice fractures. |
| Progress |
Complete. The workshop was held
on April 25 - 28, 1995 in Anchorage, AK. |
