Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Field and General Geology written by Charles W. Finkl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1988-04-30 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field work, supplemented by laboratory studies, is a cornerstone for the geological sciences. This volume provides an introduction to general field work through selected topics that illustrate specific techniques and methodologies. One hundred and twenty-three main entries prepared by leading authorities from around the world deal with aspects of exploration surveys, geotechnical engineering, environmental management. field techniques, mapping, prospecting, and mining. Special efforts were made to include topics that consider aspects of environmental geology in particular those subjects that involve field inspections related to, for example, the placement of artificial fills, sediment control in canals and waterways, the geologic effects of cities, or the importance of expansive soils to environmental management and engineering. In addition, some widely ranging topics dealing with legal affairs, geological methodology, the scope and organization of geology, report writing, and other concepts, such as those related to plate tectonics and continental drift, provide a necessary perspective to the arena of field geology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of cratering phenomenology are considered along with material properties and shock effects, theoretical cratering mechanics, ejecta, and problems of scaling. Attention is given to the application of high explosion cratering data to planetary problems, cratering mechanisms observed in laboratory-scale high-explosive experiments, nuclear cratering experiments, complex craters in alluvium, terrestrial impact structures, the Ries impact crater, buried impact craters in the Williston basin and the adjacent area, crater morphometry from bistatic radar, a Fourier analysis of planimetric lunar crater shape, a stratigraphic model for Bessel Crater and southern Mare Serenitatis, a nested-crater model of lunar ringed basins, Martian fresh crater morphology and morphometry, the distribution and emplacement of ejecta around Martian impact craters, the nature of the present interplanetary crater-forming projectiles, cratering mechanics and future Martian exploration, the response of rocks to large stresses, the dynamical implications of the petrology and distribution of impact melt rocks, and a review and comparison of hypervelocity impact and explosion cratering calculations.

Download or read book Symposium on the Equation of State for Earth Materials written by Harold Hamada and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ON 10-11 September 1962, the Structures Division of the AFSWC Research Directorate sponsored a symposium on the equation of state for earth materials. The attendants were personnel who are under contract to the Structures Division, and personnel interested in this area of research. This document contains abstracts of the papers presented at the symposium. The abstracts reflect the current theoretical and experimental efforts being undertaken by the Structures Division in the area of equation of state for earth materials. In this text ''equation of state'' means the behavior of a material under given states of stress and boundary conditions regardless of the intensity of the applied stress. Thus, the results of a conventional triaxial test will be just as appropriate as the results from a flyer-plate experiment. (Author).
Download or read book Explosive Shocks in Air written by Gilbert F. Kinney and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A purpose of science is to organize diversified factual knowledge into a coherent body of information, and to present this from the simplest possible viewpoint. This is a formidable task where our knowledge is incomplete, as it is with explosions. Here one runs the risk of oversimplification, naivete, and incom pleteness. Nevertheless a purpose of this work is to present as simply as possible a general description of the basic nature of explosions. This treatise should be of interest to all who are working with explosives such as used in construction or in demolition work, in mining operations, or in military applications. It should also be of interest to those concemed with disasters such as explosions or earthquakes, to those involved in civil defense precautions, and to those concemed with defense against terrorists. That is, this material should be of interest to all who wish to utilize, or to avoid, the effects of explosions as weil as to those whose interest is primarily scientific in nature.

This book was released on 1963 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a critical review of the literature on the dynamic testing of soils. The review was conducted prior to the design of an apparatus for dynamic direct shear tests. The specifications for the apparatus generated from this review and the preliminary design of the apparatus are presented. Included are appendixes containing annotated bibliographies (421 entries) on soil dynamics, stress-wave propagation, and nuclear and high-explosive cratering. (Author).

Download or read book Dynamic Mars written by Richard Soare and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Mars: Recent and Current Landscape Evolution of the Red Planet presents the latest observations, interpretations, and explanations of geological change at the surface or near-surface of this terrestrial body. These changes raise questions about a decades-old paradigm, formed largely in the aftermath of very coarse Mariner-mission imagery in the 1960s, suggesting that much of the interesting geological activity on Mars occurred deep in its past, eons ago. The book includes discussions of (1) Mars' ever-changing atmosphere and the impact of this on the planet's surface and near-surface; (2) the possible involvement of water in relatively new, if not contemporary, gully-like flows and slope streaks (i.e. recurring slope lineae); and (3) the identification of a broad suite of agents and processes (i.e. glacial, periglacial, aeolian, meteorological, volcanic, and meteoric) that are actively revising surface and near-surface landscapes, landforms, and features on a local, regional, and hemispheric scale.Highly illustrated and punctuated by data from the most recent Mars missions, Dynamic Mars is a valuable resource for all levels of research in the geological history of Mars, as well as of the three other terrestrial planets. - Utilizes observational and model-based data as well as geological context to frame the understanding of the dynamic surface and near-surface of Mars - Presents a broad spectrum of highly regarded experts and themes to discuss and evaluate the geological history of late and current Mars - Includes extensive and detailed imagery to clearly illustrate these themes, discussions, and evaluations
