MARC recordMicroscopic observations of snow deformation / S. Shoop, S. Taylor.
| Title: | Microscopic observations of snow deformation / S. Shoop, S. Taylor. |
| Author(s): | Shoop, S. Taylor, S. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1990.), Vol. 47th Annual Meeting (1990) |
| Abstract: | Snow samples were deformed using various instruments and studied as thin sections and single grains. In general, sheared zones contained broken grains, crushed material and aggregates of crushed material. Evidence of melting was observed immediately adjacent to sheared surfaces, and when pressure and temperature conditions were conducive to pressure melting. Snow with large, rounded grains showed changes from deformation most clearly. Research is applicable to constructions of snow roads, vehicle mobility on snow, and interaction between snow and machines. |
