Sliding friction on ice and snow is characteristically low at temperatures common on Earth's
surface. This slipperiness underlies efficient sleds, winter sports, and the need for …

The effects of water content, temperature and loading rate on the strength and failure
process of rock at sub-zero temperatures were investigated and are presented in this paper …

Icing is a common liquid–solid phase change process that usually has negative effects.
Bubbles will form in ice since air is significantly less soluble in ice than it is in water and …

The behaviour of cemented paste backfill (CPB), a cementitious tailings-based construction
material, when subjected to freezing in sub-zero environments is studied by means of …

Frictional sliding plays a fundamental role in the mechanics of ice, on scales small and
large. Whether across opposing faces of microcracks within laboratory specimens, across …

New measurements have been made of the friction coefficient of freshwater polycrystalline
ice sliding slowly (5× 10− 8 to 1× 10− 3 ms− 1) upon itself at temperatures from 98 to 263 K …

The study of rock mass properties under low-temperature conditions is an important basis to
ensure the stability of engineering in alpine regions and the safety of engineering …

We present numerical simulations of crater formation under Martian conditions with a single
near‐surface icy layer to investigate changes in crater morphology between glacial and …

Theory and applications of continuum damage mechanics for ice are discussed, and on this
basis, an ice damage model, valid at low stresses, is proposed. The model describes the …

We have investigated the size dependence of the restitution coefficient (ϵ) of a water ice
sphere over a wide range of impact velocities (vi= 1–1000 cm/s) and radii (rp= 0.14–3.6 cm) …
