Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 Sliding friction on ice and snow is characteristically low at temperatures common on Earth’s surface. This slipperiness underlies efficient sleds, winter sports, and the need for specialized tires. Friction can also play a micro-mechanical role affecting

Angle of repose experiments with snow: role of grain shape and cohesion
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Snow appears as a granular material in most engineering applications. We examined the role of grain shape and cohesion in angle of repose experiments, which are a common means for the characterization of granular materials. The role of shape was examined

Detrainment and braking of snow avalanches interacting with forests [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Mountain forests provide natural protection against avalanches. They can both prevent avalanche formation in release zones and reduce avalanche mobility in runout areas.

Heterogeneous grain growth and vertical mass transfer within a snow layer under a temperature gradient [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Inside a snow cover, metamorphism plays a key role in snow evolution at different scales. This study focuses on the impact of temperature gradient metamorphism on a snow layer in its vertical extent.

An apparatus for in-situ direct shear tests on snow [PDF]
, 2016 The article presents a prototype of a new device for measuring the shear strength of snow specimens in situ. The resistance to sliding of a snow slab on a mountain slope is a key parameter in snow mechanics.

Analysis of a selected node of a truss made of cold-rolled sections based on the finite element method [PDF]
, 2018 The study presents a comparative analysis of displacements and reduced stresses that occur in the selected node of a truss made of cold-rolled sections. Computations were based on the finite element method using the Autodesk ROBOT Structural Analysis
