Current and emergent advances are examined on the topic of hydroelasticity theory applied to natural sea ice responding to the action of ocean surface waves and swell, with attention focused on methods that portray sea ice more faithfully as opposed to those that oversimplify interactions with a poor imitation of reality. A succession of authors have confronted and solved by various means the demanding applied mathematics associated with ocean waves (i) entering a vast sea-ice plate, (ii) travelling between plates of different thickness, (iii) impinging on a pressure ridge, (iv) affecting a single ice floe with arbitrarily specified physical and material properties, and (v) many such features or mixtures thereof. The next step is to embed simplified versions of these developments in an oceanic general circulation model for forecasting purposes. While targeted on specific sea-ice situations, many of the reported results are equally applicable to the interaction of waves with very large floating structures, such as pontoons, floating airports and mobile offshore bases.
当前和新兴的进展在应用于自然海冰对海洋表面波和涌浪作用的水弹性理论主题上进行了考察，重点关注那些更真实地描绘海冰的方法，而不是那些通过对现实的不良模仿来简化相互作用的方法。一系列作者通过各种手段面对并解决了与海洋波相关的苛刻应用数学问题，包括：(i) 进入广阔的海冰板，(ii) 在不同厚度的板块之间传播，(iii) 冲击压力脊，(iv) 影响具有任意指定物理和材料特性的单个浮冰块，以及 (v) 许多这样的特征或其组合。下一步是将这些发展的简化版本嵌入海洋环流模型中，以进行预测目的。虽然针对特定的海冰情况，但报告的许多结果同样适用于波与非常大的浮动结构（如浮筒、浮动机场和移动海上基地）的相互作用。
