COMBINING DAMAGE AND FRACTURE MECHANICS TO MODEL CALVING

Combining damage and fracture mechanics to model calving

Calving of icebergs is a major negative component of polar ice-sheet mass balance.Here we present a new calving model relying on both continuum damage mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics.This combination accounts for both the slow sub-critical surface crevassing and the rapid propagation of crevasses BCAA when calving occurs.First, dama
