A fiber bundle model for compressive failures of compacted Antarctic snow
Frontiers in PhysicsCompressive failures of snow pose significant challenges in snow engineering, particularly for snow roads and runways. Analyzing their microstructural evolution under compression is critical for predicting failure mechanisms and improving design ...

Description of the snow microstructure as a 3D assembly of grains
, 2013 The concept of snow grain is commonly used in the snow community, either in situ to identify the snow type or in numerical models to reproduce the physical and mechanical behaviour of the snowpack. Among all possible definitions of grains (optical, crystalline and mechanical), we consider mechanical grains as particles separated by potential stress ...

The importance of the microstructure of snow in nature and engineering
, 2002 Snow is a sintered material of ice crystals. In a terrestrial environment snow exists at a very high homologous temperature and undergoes rapid recrystallinization. Due to the extremely variable shape of the snow crystals, this sintered material exhibits a very wide range of porosities, between 0.9 to 0.2, The physical and mechanical properties are ...

Impact of rain-on-snow events on snowpack structure and runoff under a boreal canopy
Rain-on-snow events can cause severe flooding in snow–dominated regions. These are expected to become more frequent in the future as climate change shifts the precipitation from snowfall to rainfall.
