—On the basis of ice-induced forced vibration model,ice-induced displacement responses ofoffshore fixed platforms are investigated in both time domain and frequency domain.The relationships ofice-induced displacement responses with ice breaking modes,ice acting directions and platform structuresare analyzed and determined.The results lead to an important conclusion obtained for the first time thatice breaking frequency and the natural frequency of the first mode of the platform are the two main fac-tors that dominate the degree of vibration.The present work provides a firm basis for both design and op-eration of fixed platforms against ice loading.
