Overview

This is a study into the effect of vehicles and aircraft travelling across floating ice sheets. Chapters on the nature of fresh water ice and sea ice, and on applied continuum mechanics are included, as is a chapter on the subject's history in related areas of engineering and science. The most recent theories and data are discussed in depth, demonstrating the advanced state of the modelling and experimental field programmes that have taken place. Finally, results are interpreted in the context of engineering questions faced by agencies operating in the polar and subpolar regions.
