This paper reviews the brittle failure of polycrystalline ice at temperatures (> 0.8 Tmp) and
strain rates (∼ 10− 7–10− 1 s− 1) of engineering interest. The discussion addresses ice as a …

In sea ice geophysics, the formulation and implementation of a continuum anisotropic ice
dynamics model is required in order to increase the spatial resolution of the Polar Ice …

The physical processes involved in the interaction of ice masses with offshore structures are
described. For design purposes, two pressure-area relationships have been deduced, which …

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 …

The kinetic coefficient of friction μ has been measured for both freshwater, granular ice and
saltwater, columnar ice sliding against itself. The variables were ambient temperature (− 3° …

We examined fracture features within arctic sea ice as revealed by Landsat‐7 and
RADARSAT imagery, by an aerial survey, and through observations in the laboratory of …

A sound knowledge of and ability to model the mechanical behavior of ice is a key element
in addressing a wide range of needs of the ice research community. Continued …

Brine drainage networks and the microstructure of first‐year sea ice have been examined at
two locations near Barrow, northern Alaska. A method for obtaining full‐depth sections of ice …

As part of a five-year program involving laboratory and field tests in Japan, we conducted
medium-scale indentation tests on sea ice in the harbor of Lake Notoro, Hokkaido, by …

We have studied the sublimation and breakup of single 100–200 μm frost particles levitated
electrically at temperatures in the range− 2° C to− 30° C. Breakup rates were largely …
