Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Material distribution according to their TECs and Young’s modulus values . Adapted with permission from , copyright 2011, Elsevier. The color dots show the occurrence of ice eruptive fracture on the corresponding materials. Insets: High-speed camera snapshots of bound leap of ice with aluminum alloy, sapphire, and quartz substrate. ( B ) Design of the automatic detachment of ice using substrate deformation upon temperature variation. ( C ) Spontaneous detachment of an ice block (volume: 100 ml) from a bimetallic strip upon cooling to −53°C. Scale bars, 1 cm (A) and 5 cm (C).
Article Snippet: The fracture dynamics of the ice plate was observed with a polarized microscope (LVDIA-N, Nikon) in conjunction with a high-speed camera (Phantom v7.3) and a digital camera (DS-Ri2, Nikon).
