High Impact Indentation Apparatus

Capabilities
  1. Modular design. Allowing for future expansion.
  2. Crush into ice with indenter
    • 2 MN at 1m/s initially. Designing for capacity up to 10MN.
    • Capable of 1 m stroke.
  3. 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
  1. Ice impact and crushing dynamics on sections of ships / offshore structures
  2. Ice failure mechanics for large–scale interactions
