The Fracture Of Ice On Scales Large And Small: Arctic Leads And Wing Cracks, E. M. Schulson, W. D. Hibler May 1991

The Fracture Of Ice On Scales Large And Small: Arctic Leads And Wing Cracks, E. M. Schulson, W. D. Hibler

Dartmouth Scholarship

From observations and calculations of crack patterns in ice, it is suggested that a similar mechanism may account for cracking over a wide range of scales.

Nmr Imaging Of Salt-Water Ice, W. Edelstein, E. Schulson Jan 1991

Nmr Imaging Of Salt-Water Ice, W. Edelstein, E. Schulson

Dartmouth Scholarship

Salt-water ice was imaged in a 2Tesla, horizontal 310 mm bore NMR imaging system at 85 MHz. 50 mm diameter ice cylinders were placed in a temperature-controlled chamber in the NMR system and imaged at temperatures from −20° to 0°C. Paramagnetic Cu2SO4 at a low concentration was added to the solution, from which one ice sample was crystallized in order to decrease the NMR relaxation time of the entrapped brine in the ice cylinder and thereby speed up image acquisition. The Cu2SO4-spiked sample displayed what appears to be small brine pockets/channels which resemble larger drainage channels seen in thin plates …
