Abstract
It is challenging to build a physically accurate sea ice model, which is highly sensitive to temperature and many uncertain factors, such as its nonuniform and inhomogeneous microstructure. In this work, we adopt a peridynamics approach to develop an inhomogeneous sea ice model and applied it to simulate crack propagation in a thermo-mechanical field of ice sheet. To develop an inhomogeneous ice model, we treat the critical stretch of inhomogeneous ice material as a random variable that obeys the Weibull distribution. A coupled thermo-mechanical peridynamics approach is adopted to simulate ice crack propagation, and a key component of this approach is adopted the temperature-dependent critical stretch. Thus, we can model the temperature-dependent crack propagation. Moreover, the wing crack growth problem is simulated to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed inhomogeneous peridynamics ice model, whose simulation results agree well with the experimental data. Furthermore, the influence of the initial crack length, temperature, and bubbles in ice were also studied to understand the microcrack formation mechanism in ice. The results of this work show that the proposed peridynamic ice model not only provides an efficient tool to simulate the complex deformation pattern in ice failure process in a coupled thermo-mechanical field, but also reveals the mechanical mechanism of fracture in ice.
