Shear strength of ice
Shear strength of ice
(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find good data on the shear strength (or adhesion) of ice buildup on alodined aluminum surfaces? I've got an issue with an aircraft which could experience ice build-up, and I need to determine whether the ice adhesion would be significant enough to cause a misfire of some flare/chaff equipment (obviously this depends somewhat on how thick the ice build-up is). I've found some data on ice adhesion to stainless steel, but in most cases it's very thin ice build-up. I've also found mention of data for adhesion to plastics, but I have not been successful in finding data on aluminum/ice adhesion.
