RBi | = | bending resistance at i-th longitudinal section (kN) |
αi | = | average waterline angle at i-th longitudinal section (°) |
ψi | = | average normal angle at i-th longitudinal section (°) |

3.2. Constrains
According to Myland and Ehlers (2018) the breaking resistance amounts about 30–60% of the total resistance in ice for the investigated ship type.
