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 ...

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.

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.
