Description: CRREL Report
Abstract: A temperature model has been developed that describes the ice strength in a multiaxial stress state over a wide spectrum of negative temperatures. The model takes into account the anomalous behavior of ice under high hydrostatic pressure, when its strength reaches a maximum, and then gradually decreases with the pressure increase. It has been shown that strength of ice under high hydrostatic pressure is described by a parabolic yield criterion with only three fundamental parameters, ice cohesion, internal friction angle, and ice melting pressure, which all have a definite physical meaning and are functions of temperature. The model has been verified using test data on the strength of iceberg ice and laboratory-made polycrystalline freshwater ice under triaxial compression at strain rates between 10^–3 and 10^–5 s^–1 over the temperature range between –1° and –40°C.
