Continuum numerical modeling of dynamic crack propagation has been a great challenge
over the past decade. This is particularly the case for anticracks in porous materials, as …

The failure of a weak snow layer buried below cohesive slab layers is a necessary, but
insufficient, condition for the release of a dry-snow slab avalanche. The size of the crack in …

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic loss worldwide and are one of the most
dangerous gravitational hazards in mountainous regions. Various flow behaviors have been …

The simple synthesis of ultralow‐density (≈ 2.32 mg cm− 3) 3D reduced graphene oxide
(rGO) aerogels that exhibit high electrical conductivity and excellent compressibility are …

Snow slab avalanches start with a failure in a weak snow layer buried below a cohesive
snow slab. After failure, the very porous character of the weak layer leads to its volumetric …

A snow slab avalanche releases after failure initiation and crack propagation in a highly
porous weak snow layer buried below a cohesive slab. While our knowledge of crack …

Dry-snow slab avalanches are generally caused by a sequence of fracture processes
including (1) failure initiation in a weak snow layer underlying a cohesive slab,(2) crack …

Snow failure is the process by which the stability of snow or snow-covered slopes is
destroyed, resulting in the collapse or release of snow. Heavy snowfall, low temperatures …

Snow, as an important component of the cryosphere, holds a crucial role in the construction
of polar infrastructure. However, the current research on the mechanical properties of snow …

Dry-snow slab avalanches result from crack propagation in a highly porous weak layer
buried within a stratified and metastable snowpack. While our understanding of slab …
