Experimental Rock Mechanics: - Geomechanics Rock Research Series: Volume 3

Zusatztext Exclusive and prominent account on experimental rock mechanics.   "In summary! this is a superior book for anyone interested in studying Mogi's long and uniquely fruitful research career in rock mechanics applied to mechanisms of faulting and earthquakes." From: IJRMMS 44 (2007)! 1172 - 1176 Informationen zum Autor Kiyoo Mogi (1929, Japan) holds a PhD degree in Geophysics and is Emeritus Professor and former Director of the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, Japan. He devoted a major part of his career to studying the fracture and flow of rocks under stress and their relation to natural earthquakes. From these studies, it was derived that the degree of mechanical heterogeneity had an important role in rock fracture. By developing the true triaxial compression machine, Kiyoo Mogi could study the mechanical behavior of rocks under asymmetric stress conditions and was able to propose new, general failure criteria. Prof. Mogi is also the author of 'Earthquake Prediction', 355 pp., 1985, Academic Press, Tokyo, Japan. Zusammenfassung Fracture and flow of rocks under stress and their geophysical and seismological implications raise fundamental questions in rock mechanics. This text addresses the deformation and fracture of rock specimens under general triaxial compression, in which all three principal stresses are different.
