1. Rock Dynamics and Applications - State of the Art

   Edited by Jian Zhao, Jianchun Li

   Rock dynamics studies the response of rock materials and rock masses under dynamic loading conditions. In the last a couple of decades, the development of experimental and computational techniques has been able to capture the progress of fracturing in microsecond steps, allowing the exploration on...

2. Advances in Discontinuous Numerical Methods and Applications in Geomechanics and Geoengineering

   Edited by Jian Zhao, Yuzo Ohnishi, Gao-Feng Zhao, Takeshi Sasaki

   Rocks and soils can behave as discontinuous materials, both physically and mechanically, and for such discontinuous nature and behaviour there remain challenges in numerical modelling methods and techniques. Some of the main discontinuum based numerical methods, for example the distinct element...

3. Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications

   Edited by Yingxin Zhou, Jian Zhao

   The study of rock dynamics is important because many rock mechanics and rock engineering problems involve dynamic loading ranging from earthquakes to vibrations and explosions. The subject deals with the distribution and propagation of loads, dynamic responses, and processes of rocks and...

4. Rock Mechanics in Civil and Environmental Engineering

   Edited by Jian Zhao, Vincent Labiouse, Jean-Paul Dudt, Jean-Francois Mathier

   During the last two decades rock mechanics in Europe has been undergoing some major transformation. The reduction of mining activities in Europe affects heavily on rock mechanics teaching and research at universities and institutes. At the same time, new emerging activities, notably, underground...
