Rheology of Polyphase Earth Materials
This is the most comprehensive compilation to date on elastic and plastic deformation and the rheological properties of polyphase rocks taht form the Earth's crust and mantle. An improved understanding of deformation and flow of Earth materials is of primary importance in studies of geodynamic processes, and recent advances in the study of the rheology of polyphase rocks are enormously significant. This book presents an updated review of the subject and encourages students and scientists to engage in challenging research to solve the many remaining problems.
Aimed primarily at geoscientists and geotechnical engineers as well as all those involved in research and teaching of natural materials in general, this book is also suitable as a reference text in graduate courses. An extensive bibliography is included to aid further study.
