Numerical Modeling of the Ice-Conical Structure Interaction Process Using Element Erosion Technique

Abstract Nowadays, the Finite Element Analysis method is widely used, including in field of fracture mechanics, because to grown computing power. Numerical modeling mechanics a developing Ice-Structure Interaction field. One approaches ice failure Method with Erosion Technique, which used among researchers. However, question using material model that most accurately describes behavior taking into account its physical and mechanical characteristics remains open. Also, researchers often overlook strain rate effect on values load. This article presents results numerical interaction level conical support offshore structure. The dependences load value velocity are also presented compared obtained according regulatory documents.
