Summary: | Abstract Measurements over several hours of the tensile strain of snow have been carried out, and the strain-rate e can be expressed in terms of stress σ, elapsed time t, and (Celsius) snow temperature T as . It is evident from this expression that a creep fracture does not happen without either an increase of stress or a rise of temperature. We observed the phenomenon of creep fracture of snow by these two methods. |
