Book
Rock Fracture Mechanics
Rock Fracture Mechanics by H. P. Rossmanith presents a detailed examination of the mechanical behavior and fracture processes of rock materials under various loading conditions. The book integrates theoretical foundations of fracture mechanics with experimental methods and field observations to analyze crack initiation, propagation, and failure in rocks. Topics include stress intensity factors, energy criteria, rock brittleness, and the influence of microstructure and environmental conditions on fracture behavior. Serving as a bridge between theory and practice, this work is an important reference for researchers and engineers in geotechnical, mining, petroleum, and civil engineering concerned with rock stability and failure analysis.
