The influence of snow microstructure on the compressive mechanical properties of weak snowpack layers

This repository hosts the experimental data accompanying our publication "The influence of snow microstructure on the compressive mechanical properties of weak snowpack layers" feautured in Acta Materialia.

• Experimental Data and microstructural descriptors: Full dataset used for the main analysis of the paper. Contains the measured mechanical properties, µCT parameters, further analysis, etc. The column "ID" (e.g. 363) links this data with the 3D µCT dataset (e.g. e0000363).
• 3D Data of the segmented µCT scans: Full dataset containing the raw segmented µCT scans in the MetaIO format. They can be opened using the SimpleITK package (pip install SimpleITK). Note: the Files can be idenfied by their scan number in the filename, (e.g, e0000363) import SimpleITK as sitk img = sitk.ReadImage("e0000363_crop_seg.mhd") array = sitk.GetArrayFromImage(img) shape: z, y, xarray_xyz = np.transpose(array, (2, 1, 0)) (Optional) for array axes in x, y, zspacing = img.GetSpacing() voxel size (x,y,z)
