SHEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF ICE IN BULK, AT ICE/SOLID INTERFACES, AND AT ICE/LUBRICANT/SOLID INTERFACES, AND AT ICE/LUBRICANT/SOLID INTERFACES IN A LABORATORY DEVICE,

Abstract

An apparatus designed for measuring the shear strength of ice frozen to solid surfaces and the bulk shear strength of ice is described. Various lubricants on solid surfaces greatly reduce adhesion and yield breaks that are purely adhesional in nature. In some instances no measurable adhesion was observed. Solid surfaces included stainless steel, brass, Al, and Al coated with Teflon. Liquid surface films were formed with bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (Plexol 201), bis(psi prime-C5) glutarate, HB-49(Terphenyl), polyphenyl ether, isopropyl biphenyl, and 1-percent solutions of sodium dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate and barium phenylstearate in bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate.
