AbstractAs an ice sheet evolves, there are ice elements near the surface only recently subjected to stress following deposition, and others that have been subjected to stress over many ranges of time. The constant stress and constant strain-rate responses of ice in uniaxial compressive stress exhibit non-viscous behaviour, that is, the strain rate is not fixed by the stress (and conversely) but both vary with time. At constant stress the initial primary strain rate decreases with time to a minimum, described as secondary creep. It then increases and approaches an asymptotic limit, described as tertiary creep. Analogously, at constant strain rate the initial stress increases to a maximum then decreases to an asymptotic limit. These responses are used to construct a simple viscoelastic fluid constitutive law of differential type. Such a time-dependent law, with timescales changing widely with temperature, can be expected to yield a flow field in an ice sheet that is very different from that obtained from the viscous law. Only comparison solutions for both constitutive laws can determine the differences and significance of the non-viscous behaviour, and the simple law constructed would be a candidate for such comparisons.

Strain Relationship

A one-dimensional rate-sensitive stress-strain relationship is developed to describe the uniaxial mechanical behavior in compression for sea ice. It is a one-term, nonlinear model and is simpler in form than the nonlinear models proposed by other investigators. It contains four independent constants that are determined by experimental data. This model can describe the behavior of sea ice very well under constant strain rate loading, constant stress rate loading and creep loading conditions. In particular, it describes the following features of sea behavior: 1 the increase in ice strength with strain rate and with stress rate; 2 the increase in strain-softening effects with strain rate; 3 the relative difference between the strengths obtained by constant stress rate and constant strain rate tests; 4 the rate dependence of ice stiffness; 5 primary, secondary, and tertiary creep, where the duration and rate depend on the applied stress level. This paper presents the proposed rate-sensitive stress-strain relationship and discusses its behavior under various loading conditions. A set of coefficients has been selected to compare with test results under constant strain rates. Agreement between predicted and observed stress-strain behaviors is very good. Predicted behavior under constant stress rate and creep are also presented.
