INVESTIGATION OF THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER ICE

Observations are reported on the stress-strain behavior at minus 9.5 plus or minus 0.5 C of four types of ice obtained from the St. Lawrence River. The ice was subject to nominal rates of strain. A ductile-to-brittle transition was observed for strain rate of about 0.01/min. In the ductile range the four types had an upper yield stress that increased with strain rate according to a power law.
