Experimental rock mechanics /

For those working in Rock Mechanics, Tectonophysics and Seismology, this is an account of rock deformation and fracture under general triaxial compression, in which effects on strength, deformation and failure are discussed and new failure criteria are presented. The book also looks at acoustic emis...
