Title: FROM FAILURE TO FRACTURE: FIELD MEASUREMENTS OF STRENGTH AND FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF BURIED SURFACE HOAR UNDER MIXED-MODE LOADING
Date: 2026-09-28
Authors: Melin Walet, Jakob Schöttner, Valentin Adam, Florian Rheinschmidt, Philipp Weißgraeber, Philipp Rosendahl, Jürg Schweizer, Alec van Herwijnen
Description: Dry-snow slab avalanche release involves failure initiation in a weak layer followed by crack propagation. Weak layer strength describes resistance to...
