Short summary
This study introduces a new model to better predict how ice responds to changing temperature, pressure, and how quickly it is deformed. The model explains how ice can crack, weaken, and even heal over time. Developed based on experimental data, it helps us understand the long-term behavior of ice, which is important for studying climate change, frozen ground, and structures built in cold regions.
