Fracture toughness of snow in shear under friction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fracture toughness of snow in shear is one of the most relevant parameters when studying the mechanics of snow slab avalanche release. Double-cantilever snow beams were loaded asymmetrically to determine K(IIc). If crack surfaces touch under applied pressure, the fracture toughness in shear of snow (rho=247 kg m(-3)) is K(IIc)=680+/-60 Pa m(1/2). Screening of the stress intensity at the crack tip occurs by Newtonian friction with k=1.3+/-0.47 along the crack faces.

Dry 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...

متن کاملSize effect law and fracture mechanics of the triggering of dry snow slab avalanches
[1] A size effect law for fracture triggering in dry snow slabs of high enough length-tothickness ratio is formulated, based on simplified one-dimensional analysis by equivalent linear elastic fracture mechanics. Viscoelastic effects during fracture are neglected. The derived law, which is analogous to Bažant’s energetic size effect law developed for concrete and later for sea ice, fiber compos...
متن کاملEffects of temperature and confining pressure on mode II fracture toughness of rocks (Case study: Lushan Sandstone)
The fracture mechanics examines the development and expansion of cracks in solids and how they affect the deformation of materials. The stress intensity factors at the tip of the crack and the critical stress intensity factors or fracture toughness of materials are considered in the relevant criteria. There are three main modes of applying forces to a crack including the tensile mode, shear mod...
