Operations in ice-covered waters require good engineering to ensure the safety of
personnel and the environment. In polar regions, the presence of sea ice is the main factor …

Over the past three decades, the double-K fracture model has received widespread
recognition and application in the field of engineering material fracture. As the …

A set of lab-to structural-scale 0.5< L< 80 m) in-situ full thickness (1.8 m) fracture tests were
conducted on first-year sea ice at Resolute, NWT using self-similar (plan view) edge-cracked …

Out-of-plane failure of an ice floe has been studied extensively over the past several
decades for different application purposes (eg, an ice cover's bearing capacity for …

Single-crystal freshwater ice was subjected to uniaxial compression tests with different strain
rates and crystal orientations, and the real-time full-field deformation and strain were …

Recent disintegration of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula has highlighted the need for
a better understanding of ice shelf fracture processes generally. In this paper we present a …

We have investigated the fracture of Antarctic shelf ice core using two fracture mechanics
test methods: the chevron‐notched short‐rod specimen loaded in tension and the chevron …

Distant storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes generate waves on floating ice shelves. Previous
studies, however, have disagreed about whether the resulting wave‐induced stresses may …

At lab-scale, issues such as inhomogeneity and polycrystallinity are especially important to
the fracture of S1 freshwater ice. S1 freshwater ice is typically composed of large grains with …

The fracture and flow of multiyear sea ice was investigated under triaxial compression and
uniaxial tension in the temperature range− 40° to− 3.5° C, for strain rates from 10− 7 to 10 …
