Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of Ice

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of determining the value of mechanical parameters of ice in the prevention and cure of ice flood disaster, on the basis of experimental methods of classical mechanics, through improving the test equipment and controlling test conditions ,we obtain the strength, deformation and modulus of elasticity of ice under different temperature(-5℃、-15℃、-25℃、-30℃、-35℃、 -40℃)and different loading strain rate(0.05KN/S、0.1KN/S、 0.3KN/S 、 0.5KN/S 、 0.8KN/S).Through analyzing and comparing ice damage characteristics and stress-strain curves under different conditions , we obtain mechanical parameters and material property of ice, and thus supply reference data when researching the prevention and cure of ice flood disaster, ice blasting and ice numerical simulation.
