THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF SEMI-INFINITE ICE FLOES IN WATER OF INFINITE DEPTH

Abstract

The response of semi-infinite ice floes to water waves is analyzed for relatively deep water. If the floe submergence is neglected it is found that a progressive wave is transmitted. The stress produced by this transmitted wave is determined for various floe thicknesses and incident wave lengths. When the submergence is not neglected it is necessary to use a finite difference approach to the solution. Such a solution is attempted and the results and accompanying numerical problems are considered in detail.
