2003년 8월동안 중앙 바렌츠해의 23개 정점에서 표층생태계를 대상으로 하여 원생동물 플랑크톤의 공간적 분포와 군집구조에 대하여 조사하였다. 조사수역은 물리-화학, 엽록소-a 농도의 분포특성에 의해 고온 고염의 대서양 수괴의 영향을 받는 수역(수역 I), 저온 저염의 북극수괴의 영향을 받는 수역(수역 III), 두 수괴가 혼합되어 분포하는 수역(수역 II)으로 구분하였다. 조사수역의 엽록소-a 농도는 수역 I에서 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 수역 III에서 낮은 분포를 보였다. 조사기간 동안 원생동물 플랑크톤은 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 종속영양 미소 편모류, 무각 섬모충류와 유종 섬모충류를 포함하는 섬모충류, 무각 와편모류와 유각와편모류로 구성되어 있는 종속영양 와편모류로 구분하였다. 원생동물 생물량은 $11.3{\sim}38.7{\mu}gC\;l^{-1}$로 평균 $21.0{\mu}gC\;l^{-1}$로 나타났으며, 원생동물의 군집은 수역에 따라 다른 특성을 보였다. 고온 고염의 수역 I에서는 섬모충류에 의해 50% 이상의 높은 우점율을 보였으며, 저온 저염의 수역 III에서는 종속영양 와편모류에 의해 평균 50%의 우점율을 보였다. 종속영양 미소 편모류는 원생동물 군집에서 적은 그룹으로 나타났으나, 수역 III에서는 10% 이상의 기여율을 보여 다른 수역에 비해 비교적 높은 기여율을 보였다. 섬모충류의 생물량중 무각 섬모충류는 유종 섬모충류에 비해 3배 이상 높은 생물량을 보였으며, 주로 strombidium spp.와 Strobilidium spp.에 의해 높은 생물량이 유지되었다. 종속영양 와편모류중 무각 와편모류는 유각 와편모류에 비해 10배 정도의 높은 생물량이 나타났다. 따라서 조사기간 동안 섬모충류와 종속영양 와편모류는 원생동물의 중요한 부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 종속영양 원생동물의 생물량과 엽록소-a 농도 사이에 상관관계 분석 결과 이 두 그룹의 생물량 사이에는 높은 상관관계를 보였다(R=0.82, p<0.0005). 이것은 종속영양 원생동물과 식물플랑크톤 사이에 잠재적 피식-포식자의 관계가 있음을 암시하며, 특히 종속영양 와편모류와 소형식물플랑크톤 사이의 밀접한 관계는 북극해 해양 생태계의 미세생물 먹이망에서 종속영양 원생동물이 일차생산의 중요한 조절 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Ch1 a abundance, Ch1 a-specific productivity and phytoplankton growth rate in each size fraction (pico, $<2{\mu}m$; nano, $2-10{\mu}m$; micro, > $10{\mu}m$) in the waters around the South Shetland Islands (Ant-arctic Peninsula Area) were analysed. Although Ch1 a-specific productivity and growth rate were highest in micro-size fractions, ChI a abundance was highest in pico-size fractions. Selective removal of nano- and micro-size phytoplankton especially by krill and salp grazing, but not limitation of phytoplankton growth, seemed to be the major reason to explain this miss match between productivity and abundance of the phytoplankton community.

극지방의 해양 환경은 낮은 온도와 함께 여러 가지 형태로 존재하는 얼음의 분포에 의해 큰 영향을 받는다. 빙하와 빙산, 해빙 등 빙역학의 기초적인 이해를 위하여 본 연구는 polycrystalline ice의 재료적 특성과 파괴기구 등을 파악하고 극지 방하유동시 관측되는 creep 변경을 기술하기 위한 constitutive 모델을 제시하였다. 빙변형에 관여되는 여러 가지 물리적 변화 중 microcracking에 의한 재료의 손상을 주요인으로 간주하여 파손역학의 이론을 적용한 3차원 수치모델을 개발하였으며 기발표된 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 1축 균일압축을 받는 경우 실험 데이타와 수치모델은 유사한 거동을 보이고 있으며, 빙변형에 있어서 1, 2기 creep의 소성적 변형특성 뿐 아니라 microcracking에 의한3기(tertiary) creep의 특징까지도 잘 기술해 주고 있다.

In this study, a simplified analysis method was developed to evaluate the fatigue damage of an ice-going ship under broken ice condition. The global ice load, which is essentially calculated at the design stage of the Arctic vessel, and the hull form information were used to estimate the local ice load acting on the outer-shell of the ship. The local ice load was applied to the finite element analysis model, and the Weibull parameters for the target fatigue point were derived. Finally, fatigue damage was evaluated by applying the S-N curve and the Palmgren-Miner rule. For the verification of the proposed method, numerical analyses using direct approach were performed for the same conditions. A numerical model that implements the interaction between ice and structure was introduced to verify the local ice load and the stress calculated from the proposed method. Finally, the fatigue analyses of the Baltic Sea for actual ice conditions were performed, and the results of the proposed method, the method using numerical analysis, and the LR method were compared.

The speed performances of ice sea trial on the Arctic(2010 & 2011) area were shown different results depend on the ice floe size. Penetration phenomena of level ice was not happened on medium ice floe and tore up by the impact force because the mass of medium ice floe is similar to the mass of Araon which is Korean ice breaking research vessel and did not shut up by the ice ridge or iceberg. The sea trial on the Amundsen sea was performed at the big floe which is classified by WMO(World Meteorological Organization). Three measurements of ice properties and five results of speed trial were obtained with different ice thicknesses and engine powers. To evaluate speed of level ice trial and model test results at the same ice thickness and engine power, the correction method of HSVA(Hamburg Ship Model Basin) was used. The thickness, snow effect, flexural strength and friction coefficient were corrected to compare the speed of sea trial. The analyzed speed at 1.03m thickness of big floe was 5.85 knots at 10MW power and it's 6.10 knots at 1.0m ice thickness and the same power. It's bigger than the results of level ice because big floe was also slightly tore up by the impact force of vessel based on the observation of recorded video.

This paper presents a study on the crashworthiness of the scaled-down stiffened panels used on a Korean icebreaker. In order to validate the crashworthiness of the panels, this paper provides various mechanical properties such as the results of a CVN test, quasi-static tensile test, and high-speed tensile test at arctic temperatures. Two types of steels (EH32 and FH32) were chosen for the material tests. CVN tests revealed that the two steels were equivalent up to −60℃ in terms of their impact energy absorption capacity. However, the toughness of FH32 was significantly superior to that of EH32. EH32 showed slightly higher flow stresses at all temperature levels compared to FH32. The improvement ratios of the yield strengths, tensile strengths, plastic hardening exponents, etc. for FH32, which were obtained from quasi-static tensile tests, showed an apparent ascending tendency with a decrease in temperature. Dynamic tensile test results were obtained for the two temperatures levels of 20℃ and −60℃ with two plastic strain rate levels of 1 s⁻¹ and 100 s⁻¹. A closed form empirical formula proposed by Choung et al. (2011;2013) was shown to be effective at predicting the flow stress increase due to a strain rate increase.

The first part of this study found the tendencies of the mechanical properties of two arctic structural steels (EH32 and FH32). In the second part, the crashworthiness of stiffened panels scaled down from the side frame structure of a Korean research icebreaker was determined. A procedure for designing the shapes and sizes of the stiffened panels, mass and shape of a drop striker, and a large temperature chamber, and then manufacturing these, is introduced in detail. From impact bending tests for the stiffened panels, the residual permanent deformations and deformation histories over time were captured using manual measurement and video image analyses. Numerical simulations of the impact bending tests were carried out for three different finite element models, which were mainly composed of shell elements, solid elements, and solid elements, with welding beads. It was proven from a comparison of the test results and numerical simulation results that the solid element model with the welding bead consideration approached the test results in terms of the residual deformations as long as the strain rate effect was taken into account.

Recently many countries have become interested in the development of cold or arctic regions. The construction of engineered structures in those regions demands an understanding of the deformation characteristics of frozen soil. However, an understanding of frozen soil behavior poses difficult problems owing to the complex interaction between the soil particles and the ice matrix. In this research, a series of laboratory tests was performed to investigate the variations in the unconfined compression strength and split tensile strength of weathered granite soil and mixed soil (standard sand and kaolinite) in 15 degrees below zero environments. In the frozen soil tests, specimens were prepared with various water and clay contents, and then the interrelationships between four factors (water content, clay content, unconfined compression strength, split tensile strength) were analyzed. The test results were summarized as follows; as the water content was increased, the unconfined compressive and split tensile strengths also increased in frozen soil. However as the clay content was increased, the unconfined compressive and split tensile strengths were lowered. In the case of frozen soil that contained little clay content, the strength decreased rapidly in mixed soil (standard sand and kaolinite) when the frozen specimen was broken. On the other hand, in the cases of mixed soil that contained a high clay content and weathered granite soil, the strength decreased relatively slowly.

The most important factor in the structural design of ships and offshore structures operating in arctic region is ice load, which results from ice-structure interaction during the ice collision process. The mechanical properties of ice related to strength and failure, however, show very complicated aspect varying with temperature, volume fraction of brine, grain size, strain rate and etc. So it is nearly impossible to establish a perfect material model of ice satisfying all the mechanical characteristics completely. Therefore, in general, ice collision analysis was carried out by relatively simple material models considering only specific aspects of mechanical characteristics of ice and it would be the most significant cause of inevitable errors in the analysis. Especially, it is well-known that the most distinctive mechanical property of ice is high dependency on strain rate. Ice shows brittle attribute in higher strain rate while it becomes ductile in lower strain rate range. In this study, the simulation method of ice collision to ship hull using the nonlinear dynamic FE analysis was dealt with. To consider the strain rate effects of ice during ice-structural interaction, strain rate dependent constitutive model in which yield stress and hardening behaviors vary with strain rate was adopted. To reduce the huge amount of computing time, the modeling range of ice and ship structure were restricted to the confined region of interest. Under the various scenario of ice-ship hull collision, the structural behavior of hull panels and failure modes of ice were examined by nonlinear FE analysis technique.

This study describes the model tests in ice according to the frictional coefficient of an ice-breaking ship and the change in ice resistance by the analysis method for each component of ice resistances. The target vessel is a 90K DWT ice-breaking tanker capable of operating in ARC7 ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean, and twin POD propellers are fitted. The hull was specially painted with four different frictional coefficients on the same ship model. The total ice resistance can be separated by ice breaking, ice buoyancy, ice clearing resistances through the tests in level ice, pre-sawn ice and creep test in pre-sawn ice under sea ice thickness of 1.2 m and 1.7 m. Ice resistance was analyzed by correcting the thickness and bending strength of model ice by the ITTC correction method. As the frictional coefficient between the hull and ice increases, ice buoyancy and clearing resistances increase significantly. When the surface of the hull is rough, it is considered that the broken ice pieces do not slip easily to the side, resulting in an increase in ice buoyancy resistance. Also, the frictional coefficient was found to have a great influence on the ice clearing resistance as the ice thickness became thicker.
