Model Scale Testing in Ice D


Aalto University


<p>The course introduces students to model-scale testing in ice. The students learn about scaling methods, and apply one scaling method in practice. During the course, the participants plan and conduct model-scale experiments in ice with a ship or an offshore structure in Aalto Ice Tank. After the experiments, the measurements are analyzed and the results are presented in a seminar and reported.</p><p><br />The course is intended for students specialising in marine technology or arctic technology, but all students with a suitable background are welcome. MEC-E4003 Ice Mechanics is prerequisite for all the participants. The experiments are conducted in small groups. Each group can choose whether they conduct the experiments with a model of a ship or an offshore structure. Experiments with a ship model requires knowledge gained in MEC-E4001 Winter Navigation, while experiments with an offshore structure utilize content of MEC-E4002 Ice Loads on Structures.</p>
