Abstract
AbstractA dynamic constitutive law is used to study the response of medium-density snow to shock waves. The results show good correlation between theory and experiment, except for low-intensity shocks which produce small permanent density changes. In this case the validity of the data is questioned, although further experimental work is needed to settle this question. The results of this work also partially explain why snow is so effective in absorbing energy associated with stress waves. This is felt to be due to the work-hardening characteristics of snow.
