We present a statistical analysis of the acoustic emissions induced by dislocation motion during the creep of ice single crystals. The recorded acoustic waves provide an indirect measure of the inelastic energy dissipated during dislocation motion. Compression and torsion creep experiments indicate that viscoplastic deformation, even in the steady-state (secondary creep), is a complex and inhomogeneous process characterized by avalanches in the motion of dislocations. The distribution of avalanche sizes, identified with the acoustic wave amplitude (or the acoustic wave energy), is found to follow a power law with a cutoff at large amplitudes which depends on the creep stage (primary, secondary, tertiary). These results suggest that viscoplastic deformation in ice and possibly in other materials could be described in the framework of non-equilibrium critical phenomena.

Abstract
We present a statistical analysis of the acoustic emissions induced by dislocation motion during the creep of ice single crystals. The recorded acoustic waves provide an indirect measure of the inelastic energy dissipated during dislocation motion. Compression and torsion creep experiments indicate that viscoplastic deformation, even in the steady-state (secondary creep), is a complex and inhomogeneous process characterized by avalanches in the motion of dislocations. The distribution of avalanche sizes, identified with the acoustic wave amplitude (or the acoustic wave energy), is found to follow a power law with a cutoff at large amplitudes which depends on the creep stage (primary, secondary, tertiary). These results suggest that viscoplastic deformation in ice and possibly in other materials could be described in the framework of non-equilibrium critical phenomena.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
