In this paper, the back-calculated fracture information necessary to the specification of an accurate viscoelastic fictitious (cohesive) crack model is presented. In particular, the changing shape of the stress separation curve with varying conditions and loading scenarios is revealed.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of sea-ice phenomena’. %I The Royal Society
