MECHANICS OF SKI SLIDING ON SNOW: CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics, 2023
Since, in modern high-performance sports, the technical component is decisive, the ski running surface is an important element of cross-country skiing. This paper presents a review of papers on sliding mechanics, discusses modern methods for improving it,

Mechanics of the Ski–Snow Contact [PDF]

open access: yesTribology Letters, 2009
Two outstanding questions of the ski–snow friction are considered: the deformation mode of the snow and the real contact area. The deformation of hard, well sintered snow in a short time impact has been measured with a special linear friction tester. Four types of deformations have been identified: brittle fracture of bonds, plastic deformation of ice ...

Fracture mechanics of snow avalanches

Physical Review E, 2001
Dense snow avalanches are analyzed by modeling the snow slab as an elastic and brittle plate, attached by static friction to the underlying ground. The grade of heterogeneity in the local fracture (slip) thresholds, and the ratio of the average substrate slip threshold to the average slab fracture threshold, are the decisive parameters for avalanche ...

Mechanics of the Turning Snow Ski

1985
A snow ski turning at a constant radius and a constant speed is analyzed through a model of the skier/snow/ski dynamic system. The skier is modeled as a rigid body pivoted at the ski; the cutting properties of the snow are empirically modeled from ice cutting data; the ski is represented as a Euler-Bernoulli beam.

Development of a Mechanism for Nitrate Photochemistry in Snow

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2010
A reaction mechanism to reproduce photochemical processes in the snow is reported. We developed a box model to represent snow chemistry. Constrained by laboratory experiments carried out with artificial snow, we deduced first a reaction mechanism for N-containing species including 13 reactions.
