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 …


Using Electron Backscatter Diffraction Patterns To Examine Recrystallization In Polar Ice Sheets, Rachel Obbard, Ian Baker, Katherine Sieg Jan 2006

Using Electron Backscatter Diffraction Patterns To Examine Recrystallization In Polar Ice Sheets, Rachel Obbard, Ian Baker, Katherine Sieg

Dartmouth Scholarship

The fabric of polycrystalline ice is typically described using the c-axis orientation alone, but this is insufficient for a full description of grain orientations in this hexagonal material. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) provides full c- and a-axis orientation of individual grains, and is used here to study Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice specimens from depths of 1551, 1642 and 1745 m. Complete orientation data are used to compare nearest-neighbor relationships to overall fabric and to differentiate between recrystallization mechanisms. Changes in orientation between grains and subgrains in GISP2 specimens were correlated with the appearance of grain boundaries on …


The Effect Of Particles On Dynamic Recrystallization And Fabric Development Of Granular Ice During Creep, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole Sep 2005

The Effect Of Particles On Dynamic Recrystallization And Fabric Development Of Granular Ice During Creep, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole

Dartmouth Scholarship

The mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of laboratory-prepared, particle-free fresh-water ice and ice with 1 wt.% (~0.43 vol.%) silt-sized particles were investigated under creep with a stress level of 1.45 MPa at −10°C. The particles were present both within the grains and along the grain boundaries. The creep rates of specimens with particles were always higher than those of particle-free ice. Dynamic recrystallization occurred for both sets of specimens, with new grains nucleating along grain boundaries in the early stages of creep. The ice with particles showed a higher nucleation rate. This resulted in a smaller average grain-size for the …
