Non-Basal Slip as a Major Deformation Process in the Creep of Polycrystalline Ice

Abstract Published data on the creep of polycrystalline ice and crystals oriented for non-basal slip are discussed in terms of theories of prismatic slip in hexagonal metals. It is concluded that creep of polycrystalline ice near the melting point is controlled by non-basal slip but a decision on th...

Description
Summary:Abstract Published data on the creep of polycrystalline ice and crystals oriented for non-basal slip are discussed in terms of theories of prismatic slip in hexagonal metals. It is concluded that creep of polycrystalline ice near the melting point is controlled by non-basal slip but a decision on the exact mechanism of slip cannot be made on the basis of available data.
