Abstract: Controlled laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the response of a cylindrical, biaxial ice stress sensor. The tests demonstrate that the sensor has a low-temperature sensitivity (5 kPa/°C) and is not significantly affected by differential thermal expansion between the ice and gauge. Loading tests on fresh water and saline ice blocks containing the embedded sensor show that the sensor has a resolution of 20 kPa and an accuracy of better than 15% under a variety of uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.
