The Longitudinal Stress and Strain-rate Gradients in Ice Masses
Abstract The fundamental equation for the longitudinal stress and strain-rate gradient For ice masses with small slope (Budd, (1968)) has been derived exactly for any slope by Nye (1969) who shows that by using a variable longitudinal axis inclination, parallel to the surface, this equation takes on...
