Ductile Saline Ice, G. A. Kuehn, E. M. Schulson
Ductile Saline Ice, G. A. Kuehn, E. M. Schulson
Dartmouth Scholarship
Experiments have shown that tensile ductility of about 5% or more can be imparted to columnar, saline ice by pre-compressing the material by about 3.5%. This effect is similar to that observed in granular, fresh-water ice and is attributed to the operation of both dislocation creep and diffusion creep within that part of the matrix which recrystallized during the pre-compressive deformation.
Brittle Compressive Failure Of Salt-Water Columnar Ice Under Biaxial Loading, T. R. Smith, E. M. Schulson
Brittle Compressive Failure Of Salt-Water Columnar Ice Under Biaxial Loading, T. R. Smith, E. M. Schulson
Dartmouth Scholarship
The brittle failure of saline columnar ice was investigated under biaxial compression at and −10° and −40°C over the range 0 ≤ R A < 1 where R A is the ratio of the intermediate to major principal compressive stress. The major principal stress and the intermediate (confining) stress were orthogonal to the columnar axes (type-A confinement); both stresses and the c-axes of the grains were co-planar. The results confirm earlier work by Hausier (1981) and Timco and Frederking (1983, 1986) on saline ice and follow similar behavior to fresh-water columnar ice found by Smith and Schulson (1993) and Frederking (1977). Failure stress and failure mode are sensitive to the confinement and two regimes of behavior are found: the failure stress first rapidly increases with R A in the range 0 ≤ R A < R T and then tends to decrease for R A > R t. The transition stress ratio, R t changes from ≈0.2 at −10°C to ≈0.1 at −40°C. The failure mode changes from axial splitting to shear faulting in the loading plane for 0 < R A < R t. Above R t failure changes to a combined mode of splitting across the columns and shear faulting out of the loading plane. The failure-stress envelope is of a truncated Coulomb-type. Damage studies show wing cracks and local fragmentation of grains involving the brine pockets. The results are explained in terms of Coulombic sliding and Hertzian crack mechanics.

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.
A Notch-Strengthening Effect In Fresh-Water Ice, Wilfrid A. Nixon, Erland M. Schulson
A Notch-Strengthening Effect In Fresh-Water Ice, Wilfrid A. Nixon, Erland M. Schulson
Dartmouth Scholarship
Tensile tests have been performed onnotched and unnotched cylindrical samples of randomlyoriented polycrystalline ice of controlled grain-size (between2.2 and 7.3mm) at a loading rate of lOOPaS-l and at a temperature of -10 0c. In the notched samples, the notch-root diameter was 80% of the base diameter. Anotch-strengthening effect was observed in the large-grained ice, with fracture stresses being up to 50% higher than that for unnotched samples of the same grain-size. This notch-strengthening effect diminished as grain-size decreased, disappearing at a grain-size of "'3 mm. The notch-strengthening effect is explained in terms of the triaxial stress constraint at the notch …

The Effect Of The Specimen–Platen Interface On Internal Cracking And Brittle Fracture Of Ice Under Compression: High-Speed Photography, E. M. Schulson, M. C. Gies, G. J. Lasonde, W. A. Nixon
Dartmouth Scholarship
Uniaxial compression experiments at –10°C at 10−3s−1 on fresh-water, granular ice have established through the use of high-speed photography that internal cracks nucleate preferentially away from the ice/platen (i/p) interface under conditions of i/p contraint, but near the interface under conditions of i/p expansion. Under conditions of little i/p interaction, cracks nucleate more or less randomly throughout the specimen. Correspondingly, the brittle-fracture strength decreases as the i/p interaction changes from compressive to tensile. These effects are explained in terms of the spatial variation of the maximum shear stress and the crack density.
A Procedure For Testing Cored Ice Under Uniaxial Tension, Russell W. Lee
A Procedure For Testing Cored Ice Under Uniaxial Tension, Russell W. Lee
Dartmouth Scholarship
A procedure is described for testing cored ice specimens under uniaxial tension. The procedure incorporates an end-capping system described by Cole and others (1985), two carpeted Synthane end caps, and extensometers mounted directly on the ice. Use of the procedure has resulted in a successful test rate of 75%
