On the Amount of Internal Friction Developed in Rocks During Deformation and on the Relative Plasticity of Different Types of Rocks (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A rigorous study of how rocks resist and deform under pressure, revealing the hidden mechanics of Earth’s crust.
The book presents years of careful experiments on a range of rocks, from Carrara marble to slate and granite. It explains how internal friction and different plasticities affect deformation when rocks are confined in steel tubes and pressed by pistons. Clear figures show how work required to deform varies with rock type and tube strength, offering practical insight into geodynamics and the earth’s interior.
What you’ll experience- Hands-on description of the experimental setup and materials used
- Outcomes that compare how rocks differ in resistance to deformation
- Discussion of concepts like modulus of plasticity and internal friction
- Connections to larger geophysical questions about mountain building and crustal flow
