Probabilistic size effect law for mode II fracture from critical lengths in snow slab avalanche weak layers
From field observations, dry snow slab avalanche initiation is associated with fracture within relatively thin weak layers under stronger, cohesive slabs. For risk-based avalanche prediction, it is important to understand the fracture properties of alpine snow. Alpine snow is a quasi-brittle materia...
