The Thin Ice Layer Brittle Fracture Stress Model and de-icing Angle Optimization

Parameter study and experimental analysis of a scraping de-icing concept for thin ice using end-of-life wire ropes

“…Ice is a typical brittle material, often regarded as linear elastic material to facilitate calculation in experimental testing and engineering applications [29]. As one of the reliable deicing methods, mechanical scraping can make the thin ice fracture and fall off continuously by appreciating external force.…”
