Abstract: For a given ship, its speed in ice decreases as ice conditions become more severe until it can no longer move continuously. The transition speed concept provides a valid cut-off point below ...

Abstract: Compression (or crushing) is used to induce nerve injury in test rats to study nerve degeneration and regeneration. The compression forces could be applied using a variety of techniques developed ...

Abstract: Tests have been conducted on freshwater columnar ice samples to determine the uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength of the ice. Four parameters were varied. The confining pressure was ...
