Research field
Impact of sea ice on ships and other engineering structures intended for operation in the Arctic and freezing seas of Russia. Methods for calculating ice loads, recommendations on how to minimize them. Simulation and field tests of fracture mechanics and strength properties of sea ice.
Development of initial technical requirements for new projects of research vessels for the Arctic and Antarctic. Methods for predicting reliability indicators that take into account the random nature of ice loads, the variation of sea ice properties and the development of numerical procedures for the implementation of the proposed methods.
