Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physics of Earthquake Phenomena Having been appointed Thomson Lecturer in the United Free Church College in Aberdeen during the Session 1905-6, I was invited by Principal Iverach to deliver a course of lectures on earthquakes. This book is the outcome of these lectures, which probably are unique in having been the only systematic course ever delivered on the subject in this country. Since the days when I studied Geology under Sir Archibald Geikie, then Professor in Edinburgh University, I had always retained a strong interest in the many physical problems suggested by geological and geographical facts. Accordingly when, in 1883, I entered on my duties as Professor of Physics in the University of Tokyo, Japan, my interest in seismological questions naturally received a great impetus. With Professor John Milne as a colleague it was impossible for me to escape being to some extent fired by his enthusiasm. A glance through the succeeding pages will show how largely this eminent seismologist has influenced the thoughts which find expression. It was my good fortune to witness the conception and growth of many of his most fruitful ideas, to see how at every turn he appealed to experiment to elucidate a new problem in seismology, and to note the persistent ingenuity with which he followed up an almost invisible line of research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The destructive force of earthquakes has stimulated human inquiry since ancient times, yet the scientific study of earthquakes is a surprisingly recent endeavor. Instrumental recordings of earthquakes were not made until the second half of the 19th century, and the primary mechanism for generating seismic waves was not identified until the beginning of the 20th century. From this recent start, a range of laboratory, field, and theoretical investigations have developed into a vigorous new discipline: the science of earthquakes. As a basic science, it provides a comprehensive understanding of earthquake behavior and related phenomena in the Earth and other terrestrial planets. As an applied science, it provides a knowledge base of great practical value for a global society whose infrastructure is built on the Earth's active crust. This book describes the growth and origins of earthquake science and identifies research and data collection efforts that will strengthen the scientific and social contributions of this exciting new discipline.

Download or read book The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting written by Christopher H. Scholz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-02 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of earthquakes and faulting processes has developed significantly since publication of the successful first edition of this book in 1990. This revised edition, first published in 2002, was therefore thoroughly up-dated whilst maintaining and developing the two major themes of the first edition. The first of these themes is the connection between fault and earthquake mechanics, including fault scaling laws, the nature of fault populations, and how these result from the processes of fault growth and interaction. The second major theme is the central role of the rate-state friction laws in earthquake mechanics, which provide a unifying framework within which a wide range of faulting phenomena can be interpreted. With the inclusion of two chapters explaining brittle fracture and rock friction from first principles, this book is written at a level which will appeal to graduate students and research scientists in the fields of seismology, physics, geology, geodesy and rock mechanics.

Download or read book The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting written by Christopher H. Scholz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The intimate connection between the two is manifested in their scaling laws and populations, which evolve from fracture growth and interactions between fractures. The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws - producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events. The third edition of this classic treatise presents a wealth of new topics and new observations. These include slow earthquake phenomena; friction of phyllosilicates, and at high sliding velocities; fault structures; relative roles of strong and seismogenic versus weak and creeping faults; dynamic triggering of earthquakes; oceanic earthquakes; megathrust earthquakes in subduction zones; deep earthquakes; and new observations of earthquake precursory phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our understanding of earthquakes and faulting processes has developed significantly since publication of the first edition of this book in 1990. This revised edition has therefore been thoroughly up-dated whilst maintaining and developing the two major themes of the first edition. The first of these themes is the intimate connection between fault and earthquake mechanics, including fault scaling laws, the nature of fault populations, and how these result from the processes of fault growth and interaction. This has lead to a fuller appreciation of how faulting and earthquakes are actually different time scale manifestations of the same dynamical system. The second major theme is the central role of the rate-state friction laws in earthquake mechanics. It is now understood that these friction laws not only govern the earthquake instability itself, but also result in a gamut of other earthquake phenomena including seismic coupling and decoupling, pre- and post-seismic deformation, earthquake triggering, and the relative insensitivity of earthquake to transients such as earth tides. Thus friction laws provide a unifying framework within which a wide range of faulting phenomena can be interpreted. With the inclusion of two chapters which explain brittle fracture and rock friction from first principles, this book is written at a level which will appeal to scientists from a variety of disciplines for whom a complete understanding of faulting and earthquakes is the ultimate goal. Graduate students and research scientists in the fields of seismology, physics, geology, geodesy, and rock mechanics will greatly benefit from this book."--Page i.

Download or read book Earthquake Source Physics on Various Scales written by Adrien Oth and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake rupture is a process of remarkable complexity. Over the past few decades, scientists have become aware of its high variability on all scales as well as its wide dynamic range. At the same time, a thorough understanding of the seismic source process is a key element of reliable earthquake ground motion prediction. The present book contains a comprehensive collection of contributions originating from the 2012 ECGS Workshop Earthquake Source Physics on Various Scales, held in Luxembourg. The seventeen articles in this volume cover theoretical and observational aspects of the earthquake source process, ranging from tiny, laboratory-generated M -6 events to the source complexity and radiated energy of the world’s greatest earthquakes. Among other aspects, the papers provide new insights into the relationship of earthquake recurrence time with fault frictional parameters, how the results of lab-based friction experiments relate to observational source studies, and how geometrical source complexity can be quantified. In particular, several papers are devoted to the question whether small and large earthquakes scale self-similarly or if they show differences in their dynamic source characteristics, which is one of the most hotly debated aspects of modern seismology. The volume provides an integrated view of the current state-of-the-art knowledge on the earthquake source process on all scales and will be useful to students and professional researchers who are interested in these phenomena.
