| Research Abstract |
To construct a rheological model used for thermal evolution of icy satellites, neutron diffraction experiments were carried out to study a time variation of crystal properties for D2O ice, and deformation experiments were also carried out to determine a flow law of ice-rock mixtures depending on the ice and rock particle sizes. From neutron diffraction experiments, the crystal properties were found not to change with time. From deformation experiments, the deformation strength was found to change significantly with a rock particle size at high rock fractions : the strength of ice-rock mixtures with a rock particle size smaller than 50μm was larger than that for pure ice while the strength with a rock particle size larger than 1 mm was smaller than that for pure ice.
