A novel method to measure the shear freezing adhesion strength at the ice interface was presented in this paper. A new splicing-type freezing device was designed to complete the freezing process on the surface of the cylindrical ice pole, and the compression experiment was carried out to test the shear freezing adhesion strength. The influence of several experimental factors was further studied on the basis of the above work. Test results show that the shear freezing adhesion strength firstly increases and then stabilizes with the increase of the contact area and the freezing time while the strength firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of the loading rate. The shear freezing adhesion strength changes approximately linearly with the freezing temperature between -5 ℃ and -30 ℃.
