The tensile strength of ice as a function of grain size
J. H. Currier,Erland M. Schulson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture strength of polycrystalline ice was found to decrease with increasing grain size, d, at least for aggregates slowly strained (10−6 s−1) at high temperatures (− 10°C or 0.96 Tm).
A Study on the Tensile Strength of Ice as a Function of Grain Size
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of ice fracture that incorporates dislocation mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics is discussed, and derived relationships predict a brittle to ductile transition in polycrystalline ice under tension with a Hall-Petch type dependence of brittle fracture strength on grain size.
Journal ArticleDOI
A procedure for testing polycrystalline ice in uniaxial tension
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for testing ice in tension is described, which incorporates a one-piece lucite mold, two carpeted Synthane end-caps and a pair of yokes and ball joints.
