High Impact Indentation Apparatus
Capabilities
- Modular design. Allowing for future expansion.
- Crush into ice with indenter
- 2 MN at 1m/s initially. Designing for capacity up to 10MN.
- Capable of 1 m stroke.
- Ice specimen: 2.2 m L x 2.5 m W x 2.4 m H. Modular side structure and floor to allow expansion.
Purpose
- Ice impact and crushing dynamics on sections of ships / offshore structures
- Ice failure mechanics for large–scale interactions
