- Abstract
- In the volume, for the first time, the physics of fractures is used to examine and generalize certain aspects of the processes preparatory to an earthquake and concomitant changes in the physical state of the medium in the region of the earthquake focus. The book covers a wide range of problems including theoretical studies and laboratory and field experiments. The book is intended for a wide range of geophysicists, geologists and specialists working on the physics of fractures.
