Geologic Fracture Mechanics – PDF

Geologic Fracture Mechanics (PDF) is a comprehensive guide that covers all the prevalent geologic structural discontinuities. This eBook provides an insight into the formation, growth, interpretation, and consequences of fractures and deformation bands, from different perspectives such as theoretical, field, and lab-based approaches. It bridges the gap between fundamental textbook knowledge and the advanced research literature, equipping readers with necessary interpretive tools to understand the origins, geometries, patterns, and outcomes of discontinuities. Each chapter features a set of problem sets and worked examples that aid self-study and enrich the understanding of topics. This eBook is a valuable resource for advanced students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in structural geology, rock mechanics, planetary geology, neotectonics, and reservoir geomechanics. It offers a fresh perspective on all common geologic structures, including joints, faults, stylolites, hydrofractures, and deformation bands, making it a must-have reference material for enthusiasts. Please note that this product only includes the Geologic Fracture Mechanics eBook in PDF format, with no access codes involved.
