Principles of Earthquake Source Mechanics Paperback / softback
by B. V. (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) Kostrov, Shamita (Columbia University, New York) Das
Part of the Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Kostrov and Das present a general theoretical model summarizing our current knowledge of fracture mechanics as applied to earthquakes and earthquake source processes.
Part I explains continuum and fracture mechanics, providing the reader with some background and context.
Part II continues with a discussion of the inverse problem of earthquake source theory and a description of the seismic moment tensor.
Part III presents specific earthquake source models.
Although data processing and acquisition techniques are discussed only in simplified form for illustrative purposes, the material in this book will aid in better orienting and developing these techniques.
The aim of this book is to explore the phenomena underlying earthquake fracture and present a general theoretical model for earthquake source processes.
