Short summary
We applied digital image correlation to measure the full-field deformation of sea ice in a mechanical experiment. The characteristics of the failure mode, nonlinear behavior and crack propagation are all captured by the strain field of specimens. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to experimentally capture sequential full-field deformations in the mechanical properties of sea ice. This achievement will promote the further exploration of the complex mechanical behaviors of sea ice.
