Abstract: In this paper we look at two-dimensional, periodic waves of large amplitude propagating beneath an elastic ice sheet floating on an infinitely deep, inviscid fluid. Approximate solutions are found using the method of Forbes (1988) as a Fourier series whose coefficients are computed numerically. Several different large amplitude (nonlinear) models for the sheet are considered and each is compared to the standard (linear) Euler-Bernoulli model.
