Waves generated by moving loads on ice plates: Viscoelastic approximations

The paper investigates waves generated by the moving loads on ice plates floating an incompressible fluid. Two different viscoelastic approximations are considered for cover: A model depending strain-relaxation time, and a including hereditary delay integral. problem is formulated in terms of exact dispersion relation Dirichlet–Neumann operator connected to fluid motion. Weakly nonlinear linear derived truncating operator. Laplace transform used find solutions linearized problems two models considered. • Visco-elastic effects sheets. Exact problem. Study wave response practical cases.
