Product Description

Product Description

Provides a simple account of the basic concepts and methods of fractal geometry and its application to rock mechanics, geology and seismology. The text also discusses the damage mechanics of rocks and its application to mining engineering.


From the Back Cover

Important developments in the progress of the theory of rock mechanics during recent years have been based on fractals and damage mechanics. The concept of fractals has proved to be a useful way of describing the statistics of naturally occurring geometrics. Natural objects, from mountains and coastlines to clouds and forests, are found to have boundaries best described as fractals. Fluid flow through jointed rock masses and clusterings of earthquakes are found to follow fractal patterns in time and space. Fracturing in rocks at all scales, from the microscale (microcracks) to the continental scale (megafaults), can lead to fractal structures.;The process of diagenesis and pore geometry of sedimentary rock can be quantitatively described by fractals. The text is mainly concerned with these developments, as related to fractal descriptions of fragmentations, damage and fracture in rocks, rock bursts, joint roughness, rock porosity and permeability, rock grain growth, rock and soil particles, shear slips, fluid flow through jointed rocks, faults and earthquake clustering. The prime concerns of the book are to give a simple account of the basic concepts and methods of fractal geometry, and their applications to rock mechanics, geology, and seismology, and also to discuss damage mechanics of rocks and its application to mining engineering.;The book could be used as a textbook for graduate students, by university teachers to prepare courses and seminars, and by active scientists who want to become familiar with the field.
