It is essential to design crashworthy marine structures for operations in Arctic regions, especially ice-covered waters, where the structures must have sufficient capacity to resist iceberg impact. In this study, a numerical analysis of a colliding accident between an iceberg and stiffened plates was carried out employing the commercial finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. The ice material model developed by Liu et al. (2011) was implemented in the simulations, and its availability was verified by performing some numerical simulations. The influence of the ambient temperature on the structural resistance was evaluated while the local stress, plastic strain, and strain energy density in the structure members were addressed. The present study revealed the risk of fracture in terms of steel embrittlement induced by ambient temperature. As a result, the need to consider the possibility of brittle failure in a plate-stiffener junction during operations in Arctic regions is acknowledged. Further experimental work to understand the structural behavior in a plate-stiffener junction and HAZ is required.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) have ice binding affinity, depress freezing temperature and inhibit ice recystallization which protect cellular membranes in polar organisms. Recent structural studies of antifreeze proteins have significantly expanded our understanding of the structure-function relationship and ice crystal growth inhibition. Although AFPs (Type I-IV AFP from fish, insect AFP and Plant AFP) have completely different fold and no sequence homology, they share a common feature of their surface area for ice binding property. The conserved ice-binding sites are relatively flat and hydrophobic. For example, Type I AFP has an amphipathic, single ${\alpha}$-helix and has regularly spaced Thr-Ala residues which make direct interaction with oxygen atoms of ice crystals. Unlike Type I AFP, Type II and III AFP are compact globular proteins that contain a flat ice-binding patch on the surface. Type II and Type III AFP show a remarkable structural similarity with the sugar binding lectin protein and C-terminal domain of sialic acid synthase, respectively. Type IV is assumed to form a four-helix bundle which has sequence similarity with apolipoprotein. The results of our modeling suggest an ice-binding induced structural change of Type IV AFP. Insect AFP has ${\beta}$-helical structure with a regular array of Thr-X-Thr motif. Threonine residues of each Thr-X-Thr motif fit well into the ice crystal lattice and provide a good surface-surface complementarity. This review focuses on the structural characteristics and details of the ice-binding mechanism of antifreeze proteins.

극지에서의 충돌 빙하중의 크기를 구하기 위해 지반, 구조 및 구조물을 일체로 하는 동적 모델을 제시하였다. 지반은 감쇠 효과를 고려한 비선형 스프링으로 이상화하였으며, 부빙과 구조물의 상호작용은 얼음의 특성을 고려한 비선형 스프링으로 이상화하였다. 이 모델에 의한 여름과 겨울의 부빙의 질량과 속도에 따른 영향을 모래지반과 시일토지반에 대해 각각 해석하여 에너지 평형 방법과 비교하였다. 해석 결과 모래지반의 경우는 대체적으로 에너지 평형 방법에 의한 값이 동적 모델에 의한 값보다 작게 나타났으며, 시일 토지반의 경우는 그 반대로 나타났다.

빙판파괴 형태는 여러 모드의 합성이며 실제로 한 가지 양식으로 파괴되는 경우는 거의 일어나지 않는다. 이제까지 빙하중 해석 이론이나 방법은 한 가지 양식에 기준하는 것이었다. 이 논문에서는 합성모드로 빙판이 파괴될 때 해양구조물에 작용하는 빙하중 추정방법을 소개하여 모형 실험결과치와 그 결과를 비교하였다. 두 가지 합성모드에 대한 빙하중 추정방법인 비례파괴해석법 (Proportional Failure Method)과 국부경계해석법(Local Ice boundary Method)을 본논문에 소개하였으며, 이 두가지 방법과 함께 널리 알려진 Crushing 해석방법을 적용하여 정적 및 동적 구조물에 작용하는 빙하중을 산출/비교하였다. 동적구조물은 쇄빙선을 이용하였고, 쇄빙선이 SPM 터미널에 monopod로 연결되어있는 형태를 선택하였다. 모형 실험은 Finland의 Wartsila 실험실에서 실시 하였고, 이 실험을 통하여 쇄빙선에 작용하는 빙력 및 시간별 쇄빙선의 동적 움직임을 측정하였다. 이 논문에서는 위에서 소개된 세가지 방법으로 계산된 빙하중과 실험측정결과를 비교하였고, 이론적으로 추정한 쇄빙선의 운동을 실혐결과치와 비교하였다. Crushing방법으로 산출한 빙하중은 실제치보다 상당히 높았고, 비례파괴해석법은 Crushing 방법보다 정확한 결과를 보여주었으며, 국부경계해석법은 상당히 모형실험측정치와 가까웠다. 물론 쇄빙선의 움직임도 빙하중에 따라 변화가 심했고, 국부 경계해석법을 적용했을 때 실제 쇄빙선의 동적움직임을 가장 가깝게 추정할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 LS-DYNA 971 을 이용하여 내빙 구조 선박과 빙산 모형 간의 충돌 시험을 수행 후 북극해 운항 선박의 내빙 능력을 분석하였다. 국제선급연합회(IACS)의 Unified Requirements for Polar ship(URI) 규정을 바탕으로 FEM 선박 모형에 내빙 구조를 적용하였으며, 빙산 모형에는 Elastic-perfect plastic 물성과 Tsai-Wu 항복 곡면을 적용하였다. 또한 실험 결과 비교를 위하여 내빙 구조를 갖추지 않은 일반선박 모형과의 충돌 시험도 수행하였다. 실험 결과 일반 구조 선박의 구형 선수에 빙산 모형에 의해 움푹 들어간 약 1.8 미터 깊이의 선체 손상이 발생하였으나, 내빙 구조 선박의 충돌에서는 약 1.0 미터 깊이의 선체 손상만이 발생하였다. 또한 일반 구조 선박과 충돌한 빙산모형은 원형의 상태를 거의 유지한 반면, 내빙 구조 선박과 충돌한 빙산 모형은 내빙 구조의 구형 선수에 의해 빙산이 일부 파괴되는 현상이 발견되었다.

The interaction between the frozen soil and building structures deteriorates with the increasing temperature. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) stratification test was conducted with respect to the unfrozen water content on the interface and a shear test was conducted on the frozen soil-structure interface to explore the shear characteristics of the frozen soil-structure interface and its failure mechanism during the thawing process. The test results showed that the unfrozen water at the interface during the thawing process can be clearly distributed in three stages, i.e., freezing, phase transition, and thawing, and that the shear strength of the interface decreases as the unfrozen water content increases. The internal friction angle and cohesive force display a change law of "as one falls, the other rises," and the minimum internal friction angle and maximum cohesive force can be observed at -1℃. In addition, the change characteristics of the interface strength parameters during the freezing process were compared, and the differences between the interface shear characteristics and failure mechanisms during the frozen soil-structure interface freezing-thawing process were discussed. The shear strength parameters of the interface was subjected to different changes during the freezing-thawing process because of the different interaction mechanisms of the molecular structures of ice and water in case of the ice-water phase transition of the test sample during the freezing-thawing process.

Understanding of 'spatial' pressure distribution is required to determine design loads on local structures, such as plating and framing. However, obtaining a practical 'spatial' pressure distribution is a hard task due to the sensitivity of the data acquisition frequency and resolution. High-resolution Pessure-Idicating Flm (PIF) was applied to obtain pressure distribution and pressure magnitude using stepped crushing method. Different types of PIF were stacked at each test to creating a pressure distribution plot at specific time steps. Two different concepts of plotting 'spatial' pressure-area curve was introduced and evaluated. Diverse unit pixel size was chosen to investigate the effect of the resolution in data analysis. Activated area was not significantly affected by unit pixel size; however, total force was highly sensitive.

Most of the previous works on numerical analysis of galloping of transmission lines are generally based on the quasisteady theory. However, some wind tunnel tests of the rectangular section or hangers of suspension bridges have shown that the galloping phenomenon has a strong unsteady characteristic and the test results are quite different from the quasi-steady calculation results. Therefore, it is necessary to check the applicability of the quasi-static theory in galloping analysis of the ice-covered transmission line. Although some limited unsteady simulation researches have been conducted on the variation of parameters such as aerodynamic damping, aerodynamic coefficients with wind speed or wind attack angle, there is a need to investigate the numerical simulation of unsteady galloping of two-dimensional iced transmission line with comparison to wind tunnel test results. In this paper, it is proposed to conduct a two dimensional (2-D) unsteady numerical analysis of ice-covered transmission line galloping. First, wind tunnel tests of a typical crescent-shapes iced conductor are conducted firstly to check the subsequent quasisteady and unsteady numerical analysis results. Then, a numerical simulation model consistent with the aeroelastic model in the wind tunnel test is established. The weak coupling methodology is used to consider the fluid-structure interaction in investigating a two-dimension numerical simulation of unsteady galloping of the iced conductor. First, the flow field is simulated to obtain the pressure and velocity distribution of the flow field. The fluid action on the iced conduct at the coupling interface is treated as an external load to the conductor. Then, the movement of the conduct is analyzed separately. The software ANSYS FLUENT is employed and redeveloped to numerically analyze the model responses based on fluid-structure interaction theory. The numerical simulation results of unsteady galloping of the iced conduct are compared with the measured responses of wind tunnel tests and the numerical results by the conventional quasi-steady theory, respectively.

In the past years, a number of theories have been published to elucidate the structure of liquid water. common to most of these theories is that water mainly consist of several different kinds of clusters and also hydrogen bonds in water may be bent to some degree. Recentrly, in a series of paper, Jhon and Eyring successfully explained thermodynamic, dielectric, surface and transport properites of water, assuming that it contains small domains of about 46 molecules. According to the theory, the cluster size does not change with temperature, but the cluster concentration changes. In this paper, the potential function for the hydrogen bond, the dispersion energy and dipole-dipole interaction terms. The calculated results show that the domain of nearly 46 molecules is energetically most probable, and its size is independent of temperature. And also, we evaluated the effect of angel variation of the bent hydrogen bond. In addition, the relaxation energy different for ice and water is also explained by this method.

지반의 동결-융해 과정에 의한 지반구조물의 거동 특성을 이해하기 위해서는 동결에 의한 지반의 상변화와 구조물과의 상호작용에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 동상 팽창 실험결과에 대한 역해석을 수행하여 얼음포화도에 따란 탄성계수 모델식을 제시하였다. 실트지반은 화강풍화토와 모래지반에 비하여 탄성계수가 얼음포화도에 대하여 매우 민감하고, 화강풍화토는 실트에 비하여 초기 포화도가 탄성계수에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 매설 냉각가스관에 대한 수치해석은 가스관 주변의 연중 동결 영역이 외부 동결하중에 대하여 shield 역할을 하여 추가적인 외력의 영향은 상대적으로 작은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 모래로 치환된 지반에 설치된 가스관은 주변 원지반(화강풍화토)과 치환 모래의 상대적인 탄성계수의 차이로 히빙량이 크게 나타나지만, 외부하중을 효과적으로 재분배하여 안정적인 응력상태에 도달함을 알 수 있다.
