Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polar Snow
Abstract Specimens of polar snow from the South Pole, Antarctica, were tested to investigate air permeability K (cm.sec. −1 ), ultimate compressive strength σ c (g.cm. −2 ) and dynamic Young’s modulus E (g.cm. −2 ) as a function of density. Anisotropy in a single layer of snow (snow between two summ...
