Title: STRESS WAVES THROUGH SNOW IN 2D
Date: 2024-09-23
Authors: Samuel Verplanck, Edward Adams
Description: Dynamic loads on the snow surface send stress waves through the snow that are capable of triggering slab avalanches. Previously, the authors determin...

Title: STRESS WAVES THROUGH SNOW COLUMNS
Date: 2023-10-08
Authors: Samuel V. Verplanck, Edward E. Adams
Description: Impact forces are a common trigger for slab avalanches. The objective of our work is to model stress, generated by an impact, as a dynamic wave throug...

Title: How Do You Stress the Snowpack?
Date: 2012
Authors: Scott Thumlert, Bruce Jamieson, Thomas Exner
Description: In the majority of fatal avalanches, skiers and snowmobilers apply load to the snowpack which triggers the initial failure in a weak layer. Understan...
