Influence of age-hardening and strain-rate on confined compression and shear behaviour of snow

摘要: Abstract The problem of assessing mobility performance tracked or wheeled vehicles over snow is addressed in terms the capability to provide flotation and traction capabilities. To obtain input into analyses for energy transfer from element supporting cover, it necessary describe confined compression shear performances snow—recognizing that a large density increase occurs under initial attack vehicle element. This study provides experimental diagrams surfaces describing compressive effects related age density.
