A large scale simulation of floe-ice fractures and validation against full-scale scenario
Lu, Wenjun; Heyn, Hans-Martin; Lubbad, Raed; Løset, Sveinung (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)While interacting with a sloping structure, an ice floe may fracture in different patterns. For example, it can be local bending failure or global splitting failure depending on the contact properties, geometry and confinement ... -
A method for real-time estimation of full-scale global ice loads on floating structures
Kjerstad, Øivind Kåre; Lu, Wenjun; Skjetne, Roger; Løset, Sveinung (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper proposes an algorithm that uses conventional measurements found on-board ships coupled with additional Inertial Measurement Units to estimate the motions and global loads acting on them. The work is motivated ... -

Dynamic bending of an ice wedge resting on a winkler-type elastic foundation
Kim, Jeonghwan; Lu, Wenjun; Lubbad, Raed; Løset, Sveinung; Jang, Beom-Seon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)For most ice – sloping structure interactions, the incoming ice floes' failures are determined by the formation of circumferential cracks. This physical process can be simplified as analyzing the bending failure of an ice ... -
Floe Ice – Sloping Structure Interactions
Lu, Wenjun (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2014:324, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Several interaction processes can be identified during floe ice - sloping structure interactions. However, fierce processes around the waterline are the most conspicuous phenomena. These violent processes feature ice ... -
Glacial Ice and Offshore Structure Impacts under Wave and Current Excitation
Lu, Wenjun; Amdahl, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Bergy bits and growlers (i.e., glacial ice features with a waterline diameter < 15 m) travelling with waves can pose great threats to offshore structure and ships operating in the high North. It is generally more difficult ... -
Glacial ice impacts: Part I: Wave-driven motion and small glacial ice feature impacts
Lu, Wenjun; Amdahl, Jørgen; Lubbad, Raed; Yu, Zhaolong; Løset, Sveinung (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Glacial ice features in the northern and central Barents Sea may threaten ships and offshore structures. Particularly, small glacial ice features, which are difficult to detect and manage by concurrent technologies, are ... -
Glacial ice impacts: Part II: Damage assessment and ice-structure interactions in accidental limit states (ALS)
Yu, Zhaolong; Lu, Wenjun; van den Berg, Marnix; Amdahl, Jørgen; Løset, Sveinung (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Floating glacial ice features of various sizes pose a substantial threat to the structural integrity of offshore structures in ice-prone regions. Relatively small ice feathers, e.g., bergy bits and growlers, are a major ... -
Ice and conical structure interactions
Lu, Wenjun (Master thesis, 2010)The pursuit of energy in Arctic waters drives people to design ocean structures applying new concepts.Conical structures which shift the ice failure mode from crushing to bending could reduce the total iceload. Moreover, ... -
Medium-scale consolidation of artificial ice ridge – Part II: Fracture properties investigation by a splitting test
Lu, Wenjun; Shestov, Aleksey; Løset, Sveinung; Salganik, Evgenii; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Sea ice’s fracture properties are in general difficult to measure and there is still on-going debate on the proper way to conduct valid measurements. Among many controversy fracture test conditions, the size of the test ... -
Parallel channels' fracturing mechanism during ice management operations. Part I: Theory
Lu, Wenjun; Lubbad, Raed; Shestov, Aleksey; Løset, Sveinung (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)It is frequently observed that long cracks in sea-ice tend to form between parallel channels during ice management operations. The long cracks that develop play an important role in reducing the size of the managed ice ... -
Parallel channels' fracturing mechanism during ice management operations. Part II: Experiment
Lu, Wenjun; Lubbad, Raed; Løset, Sveinung (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During ice management operations, cutting parallel channels with narrow spacing in the ice using icebreakers can effectively reduce the size of ice floes reaching the protected vessel/structure. A narrow channel spacing ... -
