Shear Characteristics and Strength Criterion of Frozen Joints under Different Opening Degrees by Shiwei Shen, Lin Gan, Chang Liu, Shulin Dai

“…In the ice shearing stage, shear stress does not decrease instantaneously, but plastic deformation is now detectable. When the opening degree is greater than the undulation difference of the joint surface under the action of all levels of normal stress, the shear stress in the ice sharply increases and drops due to local failure and reicing. …”
