Strain-Rate and Grain‒Size Effects in Ice
Abstract This paper presents and discusses the results of constant deformation-rate tests on laboratory-prepared polycrystalline ice. Strain-rates ranged from 10 −7 to 10 −1 s −1 , grain–size ranged from 1.5 to 5.8 mm, and the test temperature was −5°C. At strain-rates between 10 −7 and 10 −3 s −1 ,...

This latter trend persisted to the highest strain-rates observed. At strain-rates above 10 −3 s −1 the peak stress became independent of strain-rate.
