Mechanical Properties of Antarctic Deep-Core Ice

Abstract Tensile tests were carried out with core-ice samples obtained from various depths at Byrd Station, Antarctica in 1968, Specimens for the tests were so prepared as to have their long axes parallel (L specimen), perpendicular (T specimen), and inclined at 45 0 (I specimen) with respect to the...

Description
Summary:Abstract Tensile tests were carried out with core-ice samples obtained from various depths at Byrd Station, Antarctica in 1968, Specimens for the tests were so prepared as to have their long axes parallel (L specimen), perpendicular (T specimen), and inclined at 45 0 (I specimen) with respect to the axis of the core, or to the vertical direction of the ice sheet. Stress-strain relations for many specimens were obtained from tensile tests with different strain-rates and also at different temperatures between —10 and — 20°C.
