Abstract: Cubes of side length from 10 to 150 mm were prepared from freshwater granular ice of about 1 mm grain size and then compressed uniaxially to failure at −10° C. In addition to size, ...

Abstract: Tensile tests have been performed on first-year sea ice and on laboratory-grown saline ice at −10° C and at two strain rates, 10−3 s−1 and 10−7 s−1 . The first-year sea ice was collected ...
