Compacted Snow Testing Methodology and Instrumentation
Snow is a complex material that is difficult to characterize especially due to its high compressibility and temperature-sensitive nonlinear viscoelasticity. Snow mechanics has been intensively investigated by avalanche and army researchers for decades. However, fewer research studies have been …

Reduction of ground surface temperatures beside highway embankments by snow compaction, central Yukon, Canada.
Snowbanks accumulate beside roads in permafrost regions, raise ground temperatures, may degrade permafrost locally and lead to deterioration of the embankment. Field experiments were conducted at tundra and taiga sites to determine whether compaction of snowbanks by snowmobiles would reduce ground …

Material Characterization and Numerical Techniques for Accurate Prediction of Snow-Tire Interactions
Snow traction is a critical performance parameter for tire manufacturers, typically evaluated using standardized methods such as ASTM F1805-20. However, physical testing presents substantial limitations, including limited access to winter proving grounds, difficulties in maintaining consistent test …
