Uniaxial compression experiments of snow at different strain rates document micro-snowquakes. The dataset comprises compression force data from 17 experiments and 3D image data from 4 X-ray tomography scans. Experiments were conducted by ENVIDAT at the SLF cold laboratory, with data last updated in 2020.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between strain rate and compression force data across 17 experiments.
- Segment and quantify microstructural changes in snow using 3D image data from X-ray tomography scans.
- Validate numerical simulation results against empirical compression force and tomography data.
- Study the triggering conditions for micro-snowquakes within bonded crystal structures.
Strengths
- Contains data from 17 distinct compression experiments.
- Includes 3D image data from 4 concurrent X-ray tomography scans.
Limitations
- Limited to 4 detailed tomography scans, which may not cover all experimental variations.
- Dataset size and row counts are unspecified, making scale assessment difficult.
