Assessing the Mechanisms Thought to Govern Ice and Snow Friction and Their Interplay With Substrate Brittle Behavior

Assessing the Mechanisms Thought to Govern Ice and Snow Friction and Their Interplay With Substrate Brittle Behavior

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 specialized tires. Friction can also play a micro-mechanical role affecting ice compressive and crushing strengths. Resea...
