The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting Book

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 has therefore been thoroughly up-dated whilst maintaining and developing the major themes of the first edition. Graduate students and research scientists in the fields of seismology, physics, geology, geodesy and rock mechanics will benefit greatly from this book, which provides a unifying framework within which a wide range of faulting phenomena can be interpreted.Read More

  • Product Description

    This revised and thoroughly updated edition maintains and develops the two major themes of the first edition. First 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. Second 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.
