Polar Icebreaker Preliminary Structural Design and Special Studies,

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to record and present the information and concepts that have been compiled and developed during the preliminary design of a 20,000 SHP diesel electric icebreaker. This report deals with 2nd cycle preliminary structural design of a polar icebreaker. It concludes the development of dynamic ice loads, a critique on the possibility of fatigue failure, elastic vs. plastic plate design and those structural analyses required to determine preliminary hull scantlings.
