Determination of the Mean Number of Bonds per snow grain And of the Dependence of the Tensile Strength of Snow on Stereological Parameters

Abstract A theoretical density distribution of the Dumber of bonds per grain as a function of the mean number of bonds per grain is derived from the assumption of randomness and isotropy of grain and grain-bond location and orientation. The knowledge of the theoretical density distribution allows th...
