Abstract

This study explores the elastic and viscoelastic behaviour of ice using the Non-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamic (NOSBPD) framework. A primary objective is to extend and validate the applicability of NOSBPD in modelling the complex responses of ice under various conditions. The study employs the Peridynamic Computational Homogenization Theory (PDCHT) to determine the critical threshold of grain count necessary to induce an effectively isotropic response in polycrystalline S2 ice. Results are consistent with previous findings from Finite Element Method (FEM) and Bond-Based Peridynamics (BBPD) studies. Furthermore, the viscoelastic response of ice is investigated by integrating a viscoelastic constitutive model into the NOSBPD framework. A benchmark problem of a viscoelastic ice sample subjected to tensile stress is simulated, with results compared against FEM simulations conducted in ANSYS Mechanical. The findings show good agreement, validating the NOSBPD framework's capability to capture time-dependent viscoelastic behaviour of ice accurately. The study contributes to the field of ice mechanics by demonstrating the robustness and versatility of NOSBPD in modelling both elastic and viscoelastic responses of ice. These advancements enhance the credibility and applicability of peridynamics (PD) as a powerful tool for simulating complex material behaviours, paving the way for further research and practical applications in ice engineering.
