Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the groundbreaking work to determine the cubic compressibility of granite, representative of the acid plutonic rocks which comprise the Earthâs crust. The author, a respected physicist, describes the indirect methods used for measuring the elastic constants of solids, a complex yet essential element in understanding the physical behavior of materials. Faced with experimental difficulties, the author devises a novel approach involving simple compressive stress to calculate the previously elusive cubic compressibility with accuracy. Meticulous experiments on sixteen typical rocks reveal astonishing results: the massive crystalline rocks tested exhibit nearly perfect elasticity and low hysteresis. The book concludes with a comprehensive analysis of these findings, shedding new light on the mechanical behavior of rocks under stress and advancing our knowledge of the Earthâs composition and structure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331944614_0
