Compressive stick slip and snow-micro-quakes

When snow is compressed with a certain speed, micro-snowquakes are triggered in the porous structure of bonded crystals. The present dataset covers uniaxial compression experiments of snow at different strain rates and concurrent X-ray tomography imaging documenting this feature.

The experiments were conducted in a micro-compression stage operated in the X-ray tomography scanner in the SLF cold laboratory. The dataset comprises the compression force data of 17 compression experiments, the 3D image data from 4 X-ray tomography scans and the results of numerical simulations.
