Strengthening ice through cyclic loading

ABSTRACT New experiments reveal that the flexural strength of fresh water, columnar-grained ice loaded normal to the columns may be increased by about a factor of two upon reversed cyclic loading at a frequency of ~0.1 Hz at stress amplitudes of 1.3–2.6 MPa. The effect is explained in terms of a red...

description ABSTRACT New experiments reveal that the flexural strength of fresh water, columnar-grained ice loaded normal to the columns may be increased by about a factor of two upon reversed cyclic loading at a frequency of ~0.1 Hz at stress amplitudes of 1.3–2.6 MPa. The effect is explained in terms of a reduction in deformation-induced stress concentration through the activation of grain boundary sliding, which is evident through boundary decohesion.
