Abstract
A three-dimensional combined finite-discrete element (FEM-DEM) model of an ice sheet is presented. Centroidal Voronoi tessellation with a random generating point set is used to produce an unstructured mesh. Mesh consists of convex polyhedra as the discrete elements and a Delaunay-triangulated network, or a lattice, of Timoshenko beam elements connecting their mass centroids. We investigate, by performing simple in-plane and out-of-plane mechanical tests, how the model behaves while the sheet is still intact. We compute the effective Young’s modulus and study the bending of an ice sheet on an elastic foundation for several different specimen sizes.Description
