Rock dynamics. ISRM Book series / Динамика горных пород. Серия книг ISRM

Rock dynamics has become one of the most important topics in the field of rock mechanics and rock engineering (e.g. Aydan et al., 2011; Aydan, 2016; Zhou and Jiao, 2011). The spectrum of rock dynamics is very wide and it includes, the failure of rocks, rock masses and rock engineering structures such as rockbursting, spalling, popping, collapse, toppling, sliding, blasting, non-destructive testing, geophysical explorations, and, impacts (see Figure 1.1). <...>
