Principles of Earthquake Source Mechanics

Klappentext The aim of this book is to explore the phenomena underlying earthquake fracture and present a general theoretical model for earthquake source processes. Zusammenfassung Kostrov and Das present a general theoretical model summarizing our current knowledge of fracture mechanics as applied to earthquakes and earthquake source processes.
