AbstractTensile tests have been performed on notched and unnotched cylindrical samples of randomly oriented polycrystalline ice of controlled grain-size (between 2.2 and 7.3 mm) at a loading rate of 100Pa s−1and at a temperature of −10°C In the notched samples, the notch-root diameter was 80% of the base diameter. A notch-strengthening effect was observed in the large-grained ice, with fracture stresses being up to 50% higher than that for unnotched samples of the same grain-size. This notch-strengthening effect diminished as grain-size decreased, disappearing at a grain-size of ≈3 mm.The notch-strengthening effect is explained in terms of the triaxial stress constraint at the notch root. This triaxial constraint results in a change in the controlling mechanism of fracture from crack propagation in the unnotched samples to crack initiation in the notched samples.

Abstract Previous observations have shown that the ≲10 au, ≳400 K hot inner disk of the archetypal accretion outburst young stellar object, FU Ori, is dominated by viscous heating. To constrain dust properties in this region, we have performed radio observations toward this disk using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in 2020 June–July, September, and November. We also performed complementary optical photometric monitoring observations. We found that the dust thermal emission from the hot inner disk mid-plane of FU Ori has been approximately stationary and the maximum dust grain size is ≳1.6 mm in this region. If the hot inner disk of FU Ori, which is inward of the 150–170 K water snowline, is turbulent (e.g., corresponding to a Sunyaev & Shakura viscous α t ≳ 0.1), or if the actual maximum grain size is still larger than the lower limit we presently constrain, then as suggested by the recent analytical calculations and the laboratory measurements, water-ice-free dust grains may be stickier than water-ice-coated dust grains in protoplanetary disks. Additionally, we find that the free–free emission and the Johnson B- and V-band magnitudes of these binary stars were brightening in 2016–2020. The optical and radio variability might be related to the dynamically evolving protostellar- or disk-accretion activities. Our results highlight that the hot inner disks of outbursting objects are important laboratories for testing models of dust grain growth. Given the active nature of such systems, to robustly diagnose the maximum dust grain sizes, it is important to carry out coordinated multiwavelength radio observations.

Water ice powder constitutes a potentially important manufacturing tool. Availability and cleanliness of this powder constitute its major advantage. It was shown that the ice particles can be used as an abrasive in the course of waterjet machining. Although the erosion potential of ice particle is inferior to that of the conventional abrasives the environmental soundness of ice enables us to expend the use of the ice abrasive jets on food industry, medicine, precision machining, etc. The principal issue in the use of the ice abrasives is particles formation. Analysis of various technologies showed that the most effective avenue in particles production is integration of the water freezing and ice decomposition. As the results, the desired flow rate of ice particles at the desired temperature and size distribution can be generated. The objective of the presented paper was the experimental investigation of the production of ice particles. An experimental set up was constructed and used for particles fabrication at controlled conditions. The acquired information was applied for the analysis of the phenomena leading to the particles formation. As the result a hypothetical mechanism of the ice decomposition was suggested and validated. The experiments involving the decontamination of the electronic devices, semiconductors, fabric, leather, food products, polished metal, soft plastics, rusted auto parts, etc were carried out in order to demonstrate the potential application of the ice blasting.

An analysis is presented of stress and strain measurements made during an investigation of the characteristics of cracks formed in columnar-grain, type S2 fresh-water ice, during uniaxial, compressive loading at the nominal strain rates of 10−3, 10−4 and 10−5s−1, and temperatures of −5°, −10°, −20° and −30°C. The analysis shows that for this range of strain rate and temperature, ice behaves as an anelastic solid. Results are given for the time, grain-size and temperature dependence of the elastic modulus in the plane perpendicular to the long direction of the grains. They are shown to be in reasonable agreement with results of an earlier study of the anelastic behaviour of the same type of ice. It is suggested that the grain-size and temperature dependence of the elastic moduli of ice for this range of strain rate and temperature may be due, in part, to the dependence of the relaxation time on these variables.

AbstractThe mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of laboratory-prepared, particle-free fresh-water ice and ice with 1 wt.% (~0.43 vol.%) silt-sized particles were investigated under creep with a stress level of 1.45 MPa at −10°C. The particles were present both within the grains and along the grain boundaries. The creep rates of specimens with particles were always higher than those of particle-free ice. Dynamic recrystallization occurred for both sets of specimens, with new grains nucleating along grain boundaries in the early stages of creep. The ice with particles showed a higher nucleation rate. This resulted in a smaller average grain-size for the ice with particles after a given creep strain. Fabric studies indicated that ice with particles showed a more random orientation of c axes after creep to ~10% strain than the particle-free ice.
