The effects of anisotropy and microcracks on the fracture toughness (KIC) of freshwater ice

A series of tests have been performed to measure the plane strain critical stress intensity factor (KIC) for columnar freshwater ice as a function of loading rate and loading direction. The results indicate that KIC decreases with increasing loading rate and grain size, and that for comparable condi...
