Dense Avalanche Friction Coefficients Influence of Nivological Parameters
High altitudes, heavy snow, and sharp mountainous relief of Mont Blanc massif make the upper part of the Arve valley (Chamonix, France) one of the most threatened areas by snow avalanches. 115 paths from this area were included in the avalanches national observatory, 26 of them have experienced between 20 and 100 events over a period of almost 100 years, among these avalanches 729 are posterior...
متن کاملAvalanche Growth Calculations
INTRODUCTION A fast, efficient and reliable switch is the basic ingredient of a pulse power accelerator. -Two switches have been proposed so far: the solid state switch, and the vacuum photodiode switch. The solid state version has been tested to some extent, albeit at low (few kilovolts) level, with risetime around 10 ps in the radial line transformer configuration! The vacuum photodiode is be...
متن کاملField management of avalanche victims.
The median annual mortality from snow avalanches registered in Europe and North America 1981-1998 was 146 (range 82-226); trend stable in Alpine countries (r=-0.29; P=0.24), increasing in North America (r=0.68; P=0.002). Swiss data over the same period document 1886 avalanche victims, with an overall mortality rate of 52.4% in completely-buried, versus 4.2% in partially-, or non-buried, persons...
متن کاملFriction versus texture at the approach of a granular avalanche.
We perform an analysis of the granular texture of a granular bed close to stability limit. Our analysis is based on a unique criterion of friction mobilization in a simulated two-dimensional packing. In this way, we recover the bimodal character of granular texture and the coexistence of weak and strong phases in the sense of distinct contacts populations. Moreover, we show the existence of a w...
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...
