Abstract

The opening of the Ice Silk Road is a great significant for the realization of the close connection with the European, and it is a promotion for China’s economic development. The icebreaker will play an important role in the Arctic strategy. More accurate ice load calculation and prediction of ice breaking capacity methods will provide important technical support for the design and construction of icebreaker. This paper aims to solve the above problems and carry out the following research work. The ice load in continuous icebreaking type is calculated in 3D numerical method. Then, the motion differential equation in time history is established to calculate the motion response. In addition, the structure strength under ice breaking condition is evaluated based on FEM. At last, the evaluation method of continuous ice breaking capacity is proposed in this paper. Compared with the results of literature, the accuracy of the ice load calculated by this method meets the requirements and could further guide the design and development of ice breaking vessels.
