Popis: Accurately assessing ice loads is a fundamental issue in the field of structural design for ships in ice-covered regions. In this paper, we conducted research on extreme ice load estimation for icebreaking ships, combining stochastic theory with numerical simulation. Firstly, using sea ice data from the Arctic region of the United States National Snow and Ice Data Center, a stochastic ice field model was established under Arctic sea ice conditions using non-parametric estimation and the rejection sampling method, and ice field data were generated stochastically. Then, based on the stochastic ice field data, a three-dimensional numerical model of the interaction between the ice field and the ship hull was established, and the reliability of the numerical model was verified by experimental results. Finally, based on the numerical model of the interaction between the ice field and the ship hull, asymptotic methods were used to study the extreme ice load estimation in different parts of the ship hull, revealing the variation law of the extreme ice load in different parts of the ship hull. This study provides basic theory and technical support for the structural design of ships in polar regions and has engineering application value.
