Title: Numerical Model Application on Snow Avalanche in Turkey: Date: 2016-10-02; Authors: Erhan Tekin, Onder Kocyigit, Levent Butun; Description: Snow avalanches form a threat to human life in mountainous regions and significantly affect transportation condition. With recent developments in comp...; Object ID: ISSW16_P1.06.pdf; Keywords: avalanche velocity, friction factor, ramms, voellmy-salm; View additional details about Numerical Model Application on Snow Avalanche in Turkey

Title: Measurements of Weak Snowpack Layer Friction: Date: 2009; Authors: Alec van Herwijnen, Joachim Heierli; Description: An essential stage in the release of an avalanche is the propagation of a fracture through a weak snowpack layer. As the fracture propagates, the slab...; Object ID: issw-2009-0112-0114.pdf; Keywords: particle image velocimetry, friction, weak layers, avalanche formation; View additional details about Measurements of Weak Snowpack Layer Friction

Title: Preliminary Results of Snow Surface Friction Coefficient Measurements: Date: 2002; Authors: J. Andrew Gleason; Description: A measure of the strength of bonding of new snow to surface layers would be useful for avalanche workers. A new instrument to measure snow surface fri...; Object ID: issw-2002-523-527.pdf; Keywords: coefficient, snow surface, shear strength, temperature; View additional details about Preliminary Results of Snow Surface Friction Coefficient Measurements

Title: Incorporating a Human Risk Factor in Avalanche Danger Rating Systems: Date: 2000; Authors: Michael J. Jenkins, Elizabeth G. Hebertson; Description: Stability ratings describe the probability that natural avalanches may occur and the nature of the trigger reqUired for avalanche release. Hazard rati...; Object ID: issw-2000-028-036.pdf; Keywords: avalanche danger rating, human risk; View additional details about Incorporating a Human Risk Factor in Avalanche Danger Rating Systems

Title: Measuring the Coefficient of Friction of Polyethylen on Snow - Kinetic Friction on Snow: Date: 2000; Authors: Daniel Buhl, Hansueli Rhyner, Walter Ammann; Description: Experiments were done in the freezing chamber with polyethylen specimens sliding on ice using a tribometer. The coefficient of friction was measured a...; Object ID: issw-2000-412-416.pdf; Keywords: coefficient of friction on snow, kinetic friction, tribology; View additional details about Measuring the Coefficient of Friction of Polyethylen on Snow - Kinetic Friction on Snow

Title: The Friction of Snow Skis: Date: 1992; Authors: S.C. Colbeck; Description: Snow friction results from a mixture of processes. Usually the snow and ski surfaces are partially separated by melt water but, when too much water is...; Object ID: issw-1992-018-027.pdf; Keywords: friction, temperature, solar radiation; View additional details about The Friction of Snow Skis

Title: Ski Friction and Thermal Response: Date: 1988; Authors: G.C. Warren, S.C. Colbeck; Description: The low friction encountered in skiing is a result of the friction- heating-melting process associated with a slider moving over snow (Bowden and Hugh...; Object ID: issw-1988-223-225.pdf; Keywords: skiing, friction, thermal, melting, slider, metlway layer; View additional details about Ski Friction and Thermal Response
