Scale effects on the in-situ tensile strength and fracture of ice. Part I: Large grained freshwater ice at Spray Lakes Reservoir, Alberta

Dynamic compressive behavior of ice at cryogenic temperatures

“…A relatively large body of literature exists on the compressive and tensile behavior (Currier and Schulson, 1982;Dempsey et al, 1999a;Dempsey et al, 1999b;Haynes, 1978;Jones and Glen, 1969;Petrenko and Whitworth, 1999;Schulson, 2001;Schulson and Duval, 2009;Schulson and Gratz, 1999;Schulson et al, 2005), and fracture properties (Dempsey, 1991;Nixon and Schulson, 1987;Parameswaran and Jones, 1975;Schulson, 1990;Schulson and Duval, 2009;Uchida and Kusumoto, 1999;Weber and Nixon, 1996) of ice. Most of these studies focus on the creep and quasi-static deformation behavior of distilled water ice.…”

Review of the Phenomenon of Ice Shedding from Wind Turbine Blades

“…The given data of ice is recorded at a constant strain rate of 10 −5 • −1 and temperature of -10°C. The tensile strength of ice decreases with increasing test specimen volume [22], as shown in Figure 11. Volume effects on the strength of brittle materials are usually described by a Weibull statistical distribution approach [23].…”

Dynamic strength of distill water and lake water ice at high strain rates

“…Ice's average Young's modulus is~10 GPa and its density is approximate 897 kg/m 3 . These values provide an average longitudinal elastic wave speed in ice of about 3338 m/s.…”
