Abstract

Orientation dependence of Young's and shear moduli of ice single crystals has been calculated at various temperatures using the most up-to-date values of elastic constants and classical equations derived for hexagonal materials. Young's modulus is a maximum whereas shear modulus has a minimum value along the c-axis. Along a direction 50 degree to the c-axis, the shear modulus has a maximum value and the Young's modulus, a minimum. Average values of polycrystal moduli calculated from single crystal values showed only mild temperature dependence.
