The development of faults and shear fracture systems over a broad range of temperature
and pressure and for a variety of rock types involves the growth and interaction of …

The scaling properties of earthquake populations show remarkable similarities to those
observed at or near the critical point of other composite systems in statistical physics. This …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

An Introduction to Mining Seismology describes comprehensively the modern methods and
techniques used to monitor and study seismicity and rockbursts in mines. Key case histories …

Fracture characteristics of rock and rational structural design are necessary to ensure the
stability of underground rock engineering. Early warning of rock damage is a hot and …

The acoustic emission (AE) and the mechanical behavior of granite samples during triaxial
compression tests have been analyzed. The size of AE events displays power law …

Statistical models are introduced for the simultaneous estimation of the changes of the b
value and detection rate of earthquakes in a catalogue which develops in time or varies in …

The statistics of large earthquakes commonly involve large uncertainties due to the lack of
long‐term, robust earthquake recordings. Small‐scale seismic events are abundant and can …

Stress waves, known as acoustic emissions (AEs), are released by localized inelastic
deformation events during the progressive failure of brittle rocks. Although several numerical …

Estimating the expected size of the largest earthquake on a given fault is complicated by
dynamic rupture interactions in addition to geometric and stress heterogeneity. However, a …
