Mechanical properties of bi- and poly-crystalline ice

A sound knowledge of fundamental mechanical properties of water ice is of crucial importance to address a wide range of applications in earth science, engineering, as well as ice sculpture and winter sports, such as ice skating, ice fishing, ice climbing, bobsleighs, and so on. Here, we report large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations...

Three‐ and four‐dimensional topographic measurement and validation

This paper reports on the activities carried out in the context of “Dragon project 32278: Three‐ and Four‐Dimensional Topographic Measurement and Validation”. The research work was split into three subprojects and encompassed several activities to deliver accurate characterization of targets on land surfaces and deepen the current knowledge...
