Shear localization
Thin section image of shear localization (Plastic fault) in freshwater columnar S2 ice loaded triaxially at
epsilon dot = 3 x 10-2 s-1 under a high degree of confinement. Shear localization is though to develop through adiabatic heating. Material exhibits sudden brittle-like failure. Photograph by Narayana Golding.
