Frictional anisotropy is observed with crystallographic planes and sliding orientations of ice. Availing this phenomenon, a high speed skating rink was made by use of a large-single crystal ice and its lowest frictional plane. Moreover, new rinks will be made using anisotropy in plastic deformation of ice. The lower friction of curling rinks and oriented snow grains at surface came in sight. These high speed rinks were derived from the basis adhesion theory , and selfinconsistency in frictional melting theory as classical frictional mechanism was revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
