Abstract: Ice samples were extracted from a land-fast ice sheet of 90 cm thickness at Lutzow-Holm Bay in the Antarctica. The ice samples were then shipped to a cold room in Tokyo, and unconfined ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the mechanisms and the factors to govern the brittle fracture initiation during the fatigue crack propagation at low temperatures, fracture toughness tests under wide ...

Abstract: Compressive crushing strength on brackish ice and sea ice and fracture toughness value on sea ice were measured as parameters associated with fracture strength of ice. The compressive crushing ...
