The physics of rock failure and earthquakes
By: Ohnaka, Mitiyasu.
Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2017Description: x, 270p.ISBN: 9781108445719.Subject(s): Seismology | Rock mechanics | EarthquakesDDC classification: 551.220287 | Oh4p Summary: Despite significant advances in the understanding of earthquake generation processes and derivation of underlying physical laws, controversy remains regarding the constitutive law for earthquake ruptures and how it should be formulated. Laboratory experiments are necessary to obtain high-resolution measurements that allow the physical nature of shear rupture processes to be deduced, and to resolve the controversy. This important book provides a deeper understanding of earthquake processes from nucleation to their dynamic propagation. Its key focus is a deductive approach based on laboratory-derived physical laws and formulae, such as a unifying constitutive law, a constitutive scaling law, and a physical model of shear rupture nucleation. Topics covered include: the fundamentals of rock failure physics, earthquake generation processes, physical scale dependence, and large-earthquake generation cycles. Designed for researchers and professionals in earthquake seismology, rock failure physics, geology and earthquake engineering, it is also a valuable reference for graduate students.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
