The study investigated the crack speed, touchdown distance, and energy dissipation during dynamic crack propagation. Key data such as elastic modulus and specific fracture energy were obtained. Based on these findings, an index for self-sustained crack propagation is proposed.
For a slab avalanche to release, we need sustained crack propagation in a weak snow layer beneath a cohesive snow slab - a process we call dynamic crack propagation. Field measurements on crack propagation are very scarce. We therefore performed a series of crack propagation experiments, up to 9 m long, over a period of 10 weeks and analysed these using digital image correlation techniques. We derived the elastic modulus of the slab (0.5 to 50 MPa), the elastic modulus of the weak layer (50 kPa to 1 MPa) and the specific fracture energy of the weak layer (0.1 to 1.5 J m(-2)) with a homogeneous and a layered-slab model. During crack propagation, we measured crack speed, touchdown distance, and the energy dissipation due to compaction and dynamic fracture (5 mJ m(-2) to 0.43 J m(-2)). Crack speeds were highest for experiments resulting in full propagation, and crack arrest lengths were always shorter than touchdown lengths. Based on these findings, an index for self-sustained crack propagation is proposed. Our data set provides unique insight and valuable data to validate models.
