Effects Of Impurities And Their Redistribution During Recrystallization Of Ice Crystals, D. Iliescu, I. Baker Feb 2008

Effects Of Impurities And Their Redistribution During Recrystallization Of Ice Crystals, D. Iliescu, I. Baker

Dartmouth Scholarship

In order to examine the effects of solutes on recrystallization and subsequent grain growth in ice, both doped and undoped ice single crystals were extruded through a 120o equal-channel angular extrusion jig, in order to impart a large shear strain (~1.15). Upon subsequent annealing at –3o C, the original single crystals recrystallized, in most cases to a new single crystal with a different orientation. Increasing the solute concentration (for H2SO4 to ~200–300ppb, and for NaCl, KCl and MgSO4 to >5ppm) was found to significantly retard the growth and possibly, for H2SO4 …


The Effect Of Particles On Creep Rate And Microstructures Of Granular Ice, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole Jan 2008

The Effect Of Particles On Creep Rate And Microstructures Of Granular Ice, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole

Dartmouth Scholarship

The microstructures of particle-free granular freshwater ice and ice containing 1 wt.% of 50 ± 10 mm uniformly distributed particles were investigated before and after compressive creep to ∼10% strain with stresses of 1.45 MPa at −10°C and 0.4 MPa at −5°C. Creep rates of particle-containing ice were always higher than those of particle-free ice. For an initial stress of 1.45 MPa at −10°C, dynamic recrystallization occurred with new grains nucleating and growing along grain boundaries for both sets of specimens, and the ice with particles showed a higher nucleation rate. Under creep with an initial stress of 0.4 MPa …
