Summary
The chapter describes results of measurements during several ship trials, in which instrumented vessels were used to interact with ice. The main focus is the measurement of local ice pressures by strain-gauging of the ship hull. The results include ramming of ice features. A variety of results are analysed, including those from the Kigoriak, Polar Sea, Louis S. St.-Laurent, Oden, and Terry Fox. Analyses of high-pressure zones are presented and a novel method (the alpha-method) is presented for local design of vessels and structures.
