Description
Summary:In order to improve the physical modeling of the kinetic friction between ice and the hull of an icebreaking ship, a series of comparative friction measurements were performed both in full and model scales. The measurements were taken in authentic icebreaking circumstances by means of special friction measuring devices, here called friction panels, which were installed flush into the shell plating of an icebreaking ship. The basic idea of the measurements was to measure, to study and to model the kinetic friction from the point of view of the friction itself as purely as possible.
