Abstract In this study, a numerical method was developed based on peridynamics to
determine the ice loads for a ship navigating in level ice. Convergence analysis of threedimensional
ice specimen with tensile and compression loading are carried out first. The
effects of ice thickness, sailing speed, and ice properties on the mean ice loads were also
investigated. It is observed that the ice fragments resulting from the icebreaking process
will interact with one another as well as with the water and ship hull. The ice fragments
may rotate, collide, or slide along the ship hull, and these ice fragments will eventually… More >
