Finite Homogeneous Strain, Flow And Rupture Of Rocks (1893)

by George Ferdinand Becker

Book Overview

Finite Homogeneous Strain, Flow And Rupture Of Rocks is a book written by George Ferdinand Becker in 1893. The book explores the mechanical properties of rocks under stress, specifically focusing on the topics of strain, flow, and rupture. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the behavior of rocks in response to different types of stress, including compression, tension, and shear. The book also discusses the concept of homogeneous strain, which refers to the deformation of a rock body in a uniform manner. The author presents a detailed analysis of the factors that influence the strength and deformability of rocks, including their mineral composition, structure, and texture. The book is a valuable resource for geologists, engineers, and other professionals involved in the study of rocks and their mechanical properties. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of geology and mechanics. Overall, Finite Homogeneous Strain, Flow And Rupture Of Rocks is an important contribution to the field of rock mechanics and remains relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
