Numerical homogenization of the viscoplastic behavior of snow based on X-ray tomography images

While the homogenization of snow elastic properties has been widely reported in the literature, homogeneous rate-dependent behavior responsible for the densification of the snowpack has hardly ever been upscaled from snow microstructure. We therefore adapt homogenization techniques developed wit...
