Time arrival of slab avalanche masses
[1] One of three criteria to demonstrate self-organized criticality (SOC) for a critical phenomenon is that time arrival of events displays a frequency dependence which is inversely proportional to frequency ( f ) to some power. That is, for SOC, the power spectrum in the frequency ( f ) domain is supposed to fall off as 1/f , where b is typically a number between 1 and 2. Avalanche phenomena h...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN SNOW MECHANICS
In the present work, failure of a snow slab is analyzed by accounting Normal mode criteria. The analysis has been extended to include residual stress into the model (in addition to body forces). Intensity of crack energy release rate, and displacement components have been derived and their values have been estimated. The obtained results have been compared with the existing snow slab failure mo...
متن کاملA novel model to predict a slab avalanche configuration using m:n-CA cellular automata
The paper introduces a novel method to represent slab avalanche phenomena. The model is based on a cellular automaton generalization named m:n-CA. This generalization allows the use of different layers in a single cellular automaton. Each one of these layers represents the GIS data needed to perform the calculations. The model is represented using Specification and Description Language, and is ...

متن کاملDry slab avalanche shear fracture properties from field measurements
[1] Dry slab avalanches release by propagation of shear fractures in a thin, planar weak layer underneath a cohesive, stronger slab. This implies that a balance between shear fracture toughness and the shear fracture stress intensity factor fundamentally determines snow slab stability. Conventionally, fracture toughness is a material property and, for most materials, emphasis is on tensile frac...
