Abstract:
The vertical motion of a system of two identical seismic sources and a spring truck tractor on ice under the action of a shock pulse from the seismic sources is studied to estimate the strength of ice. It is shown that during the pulse time, the interaction of the masses of the seismic sources and the tractor is small and the compressibility effect of the liquid can be ignored. Calculations show that for the seismic sources, the dynamic load far exceeds the static load and for the tractor, the static load is maximal.
