This text surveys research carried out independently in many countries into the icing of structures, particularly in relation to transmission lines and telecommunication towers, and presents the current position of the theory of atmospheric icing on simple structures. A comprehensive account of the mathematical formulation of such "real-world" problems is given, and many new methods for their solution are described. The book includes mathematical models drawn from meteorological, as well as civil, electrical and aeronautical engineering fields.
