Abstract: Tensile experiments have been performed on aggregates of equiaxed and randomly oriented ice Ih of varying grain size (1.4 to 7.9 mm) at −10°C at two strain rates, 10−3 s−1 and 10−7 s−1 ...

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 ...
