Experiments on mechanics of flowing snow

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1982
Abstract Results are summarized from a number of experiments performed on granular and aggregate blocks of snow to determine the mechanics of the flow of the material. A Bingham locking property is shown to apply to snow flowing at low speeds, and the shear stress for locking is evaluated for one test configuration to be T 0 = 540 N m −2 .

Mechanical properties of snow

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1982
The investigation of the mechanical properties of seasonal snow cover aims mostly at applications in avalanche release and avalanche control but also at no less important problems such as vehicle mobility in snow, snow removal, or construction on snow.

On the mechanics of snow slab release

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1990
Abstract The mechanics of snow slab release is considered from the viewpoint of mechanics of continua. Its result shows that snow cannot fracture until a critical strain rate and a critical fracture strain is reached in a weak layer of the snowpack.

Development of the snow dragging mechanism for an autonomous snow eater robot

2010 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration, 2010
The development of one part of the autonomous robot specialized in the snow removal task is presented in this paper. With a small size and light weight this robot will be a helpful partner in winter season. This study is focused in the dragging mechanism of the snow eater robot.

Mechanized transport for snow surveying

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1946
This paper gives the reasons for increased interest in mechanizedtravel on snow, lists 12 characteristics to be noted in the performance of such a machine, and describes a series of field tests of a particular make of snow vehicle. This vehicle, which is described, met the requirements for performance.

Mechanical analysis of the seasonal snow cover

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part B: Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere, 2000
Abstract A snow model has been developed to calculate the forces and displacements of a seasonal snow cover in order to obtain information on damage caused by snow to forestry plants and technological constructions. Two components of motion may be observed in a settled snowpack: creeping (internal deformation), depending on the internal body weight ...

Review Mechanical properties of ice and snow

Journal of Materials Science, 2003
The mechanical properties of ice and snow are reviewed. The tensile strength of ice varies from 0.7–3.1 MPa and the compressive strength varies from 5–25 MPa over the temperature range −10°C to −20°C. The ice compressive strength increases with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate, but ice tensile strength is relatively insensitive to ...
